Replacing Front parking lights
I'm sure this has been covered in detail someplace, However this forum has become huge and I don't have 2+ hours to search through 3000+ search results. Very simple, Got LED lights to replace the parking lights in the front headlights, How do I get to these bulbs, See Photo below

You do know that the owner's manual covers this, correct? Since saving time is what you were after, that would've taken A LOT less time than posting here and waiting for answers.
I'm amazed at the excuses people come up with for not looking up the most basic of info themselves...

Actully it's not in my owners manual either, 07 SMB and i too have looked in the old threads and finally found it in the DIY Removeing front bumper (which is not what i wanted to do, but there is info on relacing the bulbs so it works). I am amazed that Nissan Wouldn't provide info like this to there customers. Page 8-25 --- 8-29 is only for map/license plate/luggage and vanity. Now they do tell you what bulbs to use and where they are at, but NO info on replacing them. It simply says "contact a nissan dealer"
Cheers
Kevin
Did the earlier years have it in there owners book??

this picture shows us the placement of the two bulbs in question, the turn signal up top, and the parking light a good 6 to 8 inches below and to the side
This picture is the passanger side just behind the headlight. If you see the wire in the picture, that goes to the turn signal, you'll notice a square for access less than 3" NO CHANCE YOU ARE REACHING 6 to 8 inches past this point TO REPLACE PARKING LIGHT
and this final picture shows the drivers side. you'll notice I have highlighted the turn signal, once again there is no access behind or next to the light to reach in and change the parking lights.
In conclusion:
A) way too many people on this forum stick in their two cents without any technical knowledge
B) Parking lights can not be replaced without either removing the headlight fixture or the inner wheel well.

i'm sure they were the super white.
actually going to order myself 3 just incase they don't match, they are only $4 each, less than a gallon of gas.
