Question ** Need info on "how to" replace headlight bulbs

I just bought aftermarket zenon headlights and can't figure out how to get in there and replace them. I spoke to the local Nissan dealer here and they don't have a clue either. Help would be appreciated if anyone has info on this. Thanks

screw on the back.

but they dont point too far down, your just used to halogens, halogens shine farther, but if you shine a xenon up like that you will be completely blinding oncoming traffic, you get more light but as a result you have to shoot it a shorter distance. use your brights if you have to see farther...

every one tells me that.. but every car im in with xenon lights dont look like mine! even when i drive next to other z's they light up more of the road!

when im driving next to the wall the line that the lights make on the wall points down like \ no kidding! other cars with xenon ive seen point like - with a slight slant...

there is a point on a wall they should hit... for adjustment, not sure what it is, but its like park a certain distance from the wall and it should be X feet from the ground where the cutoff is.

I dont know the distances, but maybe someone else does, or maybe the dealer can help.
