Is there anything special I need to know when replacing the bulb?

 

Don't touch the glass with your fingers. If you do clean it with an alcohol wipe or windex followed by drying with a super clean microfiber cloth. Same as any halogen bulb. Return wire installed facing down not up.

thanks for the information

 

Don't forget to take off your bumper first...

 

i hope you are kidding!

 

i dont think they are.

 

Nope! You have to take it off to take the lights off.

 

Yup.Its virtually impossible without removing the bumper. It's not as big a job as it might seem. There's very few screws or fasteners holding it on there.

 

just drop the bumper. it's fairly easy.

 

I would love to see the look on your face when you were replying. I am sure it was priceless. LOL

 

Me too!
Yeah sad but true, after the 5th gen becmae the "most stolen headlight off a car" they designed the 6th gen to keep from having that problem!!

 

ok, thanks for the info. I'm mechanically inclined so not too concerned. Just never considered the bumper having to be removed. Are there any posts that detail the procedure?

 

If its under warranty, let the dealer do it...

 

Warranty is gone. bought the 04 SL in Sept 03 and has around 42k on it.

 

Would anyone know how to access the daylight driving light in my 2004 Maxima? I can see the socket be it's jambed bhind a plastic stiffener.

 

Now I remember! Yes this is why it happened.
