HI guys i'm new, real quick I bought a grandmother owned driven/estate sale, poor lady just passed away, MINT 2005 Maxima SL the drivers side cover I saw you have to drop bumber etc to change it out, I just need to know the right part, all the lenses I looked at said halogen bulbs, it looks like this car has xenon's? if someone can post the proper link to a new drivers side housing that would be great? and am I correct in thinking I have xenon's? its the SL with sunroof, looks to be fully optioned, heated seats I can go on and on....its a sweet car, I cant wait to start pulling some ponies out of her 55k mint engine!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

see im REALLY clueless, do I need 2 of these to make my low beams brighter or do the xenons<if I have> work for both low and high beams?

You don't need to take bumper off. It's one bulb.

 

You misread or i typed wrong I have to change the whole bulb cover lense but I have a bigger challenge the tape that covers the chrome trim from bumper to hood there's a section the tApe has been left on both sides feels Baked on??? Anyone have any idea how to remove this tape I'm sure this happened to someone else I don't wanna rip pieces here n there and it looks like **** but ITS ALOT OF CHROME ITS HIDING!!!!!!Lol

 

Yikes. Not sure what solvent is safe enough. Maybe goof off?

 

does the 2005 maxima sl have halogen or xenons in them? im not sure? thanks

 

so please tell, I have the bulb, current one is blood red, its done? thanks...I have a xenon h2s or similar, its the right one. just I cant see getting at it,why do they make simple things so hard, was contemplating a tune up, plugs etc, until I got a GOOD look at how much work involved? Are the rivets 8mm for the wheel well liner?

 

If you pop out the clips that hold the bumper and grill in (alll along in front of the rad) and then undo the two bolts holding the bumper (up inside the front wheel well), you can get the bumper loose enough to reach all the bolts holding the headlight housing, without removing the entire bumper.
