Ithink you can go on sylvannia to get a part number. Use the part number and search online to get an estimate of what it costs. Then call the dealership tomorrow to know what the dealership charges. I don't know or I would tell you. But that is how I would find out, if I was you.

Also, if I am not mistaken, you will have to take the bumper off to change the bulb.

Now, go do some work.

It's going to be noticable if you change one bulb,especially if its not from the dealer.They might be slightly different in colour seeing that the stock one was used for years.

Your best bet is to buy a pair from a local parts and accesories shop or look on ebay and buy the pair.Because the dealer is around $100-150 per bulb.It's a D2S bulb.As far as the replacements you'd have to remove the bumper and headlights if you want it to be less stressful.Goodluck

You don't have to take the bumper off. Just the air filter assembly. You hav HIDs or Halogen? You can get the bulb off of Amazon for 20 bucks on sale if Halogen.

Here are the part #s

Phillips 9012 Halogen

Or go to dealer for 45 bucks or so if you feel like wasting money.


Nissan 26296-9B913

If HIDs you can get pairs cheaper online.

D2S if HID...Just replace bulbs they should be like 20 on ebay the pair.

If halogen get a 9005 HID kit 4500k or 6,000k(1st being OEM white or 2nd being White with a lil blue) they should be like 60 shipped at DDMtuning.com, they sell nice kits and once your beams are aimed lower you will not blind anyone and increase you visibility.
