Nissan Repair: 2005 Maxima headlamp bulb replacement, headlamp bulb, xenon bulb

Question
the dealer told me I could change the front headlight bulb myself but I cant figure out how.  It is a non-xenon bulb that I purchased from my local dealer.  Thank you.

Answer
Hi Linda -

The hardest part about replacing this bulb is the access. Depending on whether this is the right side or left side, sometimes the battery is in the way and will need to be moved. In any case, it is removed from the rear. Open the hood and locate the back of the light where the wires attach. The hold down can be unscrewed and then the assembly can be removed with the light bulb. Notice how it is removed, as it has to be the same way re-installed. Unplug the old lamp and plug in the new (do not touch the lighting surface with your fingers, use a rag or piece of paper when handling the bulb). Replace the socket, and the hold down.

If you need more assistance, let me know -
