I dont think youll find a shop that would take on that job. theyd need to unseal an OEM peice, a big risk for them, as their expensive to replace. and they need something to replace them with...

he's talking about the side reflectors.

Can somone post instructions on how to replace the sidemarkers. People said that there were other posts about this but I searched and couldn't come up with anything. I am asking becasue I ordered the JDM smoked reflectors but since they are OE in Japan they don't come with instructions.

you gotta go in through the wheel well. removing the tires makes this easy. thats all there is to it for drivers side.

passenger side, you gotta remove the bumper a bit. or you can just remove the whole bumper, but you gotta get into the wheel well anyway to take out some screws holding the bumper on.

You have to remove the passenger side bumper--yikes. I'm not a wrench man and don't think I want to tackle that. Anyone want to buy my new ones cheap?

Ares, said you have to remove part of the passenger side bumper or the who bumper. If it's just removing both wheels that's not a problem. Why do you remove the window washer unit. BTW, when you read the Nissan instructions it seems like they are telling you to remove the entire front bumper. Can't believe the haste just to install a couple of reflectors. I wonder if they just designed one that sticks over stick with 3M tape would have been alot easier.

the hard part is getting the water tank out of the way ......getting at the screws that hold is tough ....it takes patience but it can be done....

1. remove wheel
2. remove inside wheel skirt ( held in by plastic push type pins)
3. remove the water bottle ( there is one nut that is a biyatch to get to.... but a short handle socket ratchet should help .....took me 2 hours to do the pass. side and 20 mins to do the other side..

holla if you need anymore help....Ed duflacci@***.net

You guys are making this way to hard. All I did was jack the car up about a foot and remove the 6 or so bolts that held the plastic on. Use a 90 degree phillips head screw driver and go to town. Simple as that.

yes if you have a 90degree screwdriver its much easier

if not.. then the windsheild washer is in the way... either remove it or move the bumper out a little, its not "needed" you just have to have small wrists and limber fingers.
