Hi all!!

I am trying to change the this small light on the headlight section.
But I don't know how to take the old bulb out.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Please give a advice!!!
Thank You

 

you have to remove the fender liner to get to the back of the headlight housing and then you'll see where you take the bulb out.

 

Yeah, that what the Tech manual says, good luck

 

You can either turn your wheel all the way or take the wheel off completly. Un hook your negitive battery cable. Then remove the front section of the inner wheel well. You do not have to remove it completly, just enought to stick your arm in. You can then get to the bulbs from behind. It's good to have some needle nose pliers. It makes it easier to remove the bulbs. Also take care not to touch the lens part of the new bulbs, the oil from your hand may damage them. One last thing, check your light before you screw everything togther. PM me if you get stuck.

Good luck

 

OC_350Z is really helpful guy, trust whatever he told you to do, you r gonna get ur light bulb installed. ........^^

 

If your talkin about the parking light, make sure the bulb you have is 5 watts or else you will fry the system. I simply removed it and put no bulb. The headlight now looks totally xenon without that annoying yellowish hue that was emitted before.

When changing bulbs, its not important that the battery cable is disconnected since you are not working on a component that is not-fused or live. If you change your starter, YES.. but doing that to change a parking or signal bulb is unnecessary, IMO.

Using pliers on a glass bulb is not a good idea as metal and glass are not too forgiving on eachother. You could easily destroy the bulb doing that. The wedge-bulbs are held in with friction, use your hand and pull it out of the bulb holder; its as simple as that. Dont worry about the oils on your hand, wedge-bulbs do not create sufficient heat for this to be a problem. This is only important when working on headlight and foglight bulbs which reach very high temperatures.

Untrue, the parking light system can handle *some* additional load (to a certain extent). I wouldnt tap a set of foglights off of it, but you can easily add a few bulbs to that circuit without it being a problem.. the wiring isnt THAT thin. Regardless, I havent really seen too many different wattage wedge-bulbs, I dont think you have to worry much.. unless you try to mount a 100W H3 bulb there!!!

I basically agree with everything else though, in order to access the bulb you need to gain access to the lower portion of the headlight housing. You can jack a portion of the car up, remove a portion of the lower fender lining, and its as simple as twisting the bulb holder out of its socket to remove it. Change your bulb and twist the holder back into its place. If you want to be extra cautious wipe the bulb with a clean towel, but like I said.. those bulbs are not fragile, last a long time, and dont create much heat.
