Default Replacement of Headlamps

Does anyone know the steps to replace the high beam headlamp without taking it to the dealer? 2004 350Z.

At the Outside --u will have to take off the tire and inner wheel well and that will expose ur bulbs--- No big deal, inner is held on by the push clips, a couple screws at the wheel lip and 4 10mm head bolts on the bottom. But when I start having bulb burn out I generally bite the bullit and pull the head lite which has 2 bolts straight in the front.one on the side, 1-2 up top and just replace all bulbs and be done with it

Also there is an annoying cover (in my Z) to get to the main beam and high beam. It's a round light grey plastic cover which is a real PITA to get off and even worse to put back.


Take this opportunity to replace the standard indicator bulbs with chrome ones!

\/ \/ \/ \/ \/ You only have to remove the left side of the fender protector for the headlight bulbs etc.!

Cover twists CCW just a little then pull it to come off, Lube the big O-Ring with silicon lube or such when u install it again, Actually FRONT Wheel well cover as oppossed to Left----Left, if u are facing the drivers site wheel opening, Right, on the pass. side.
Nother words get the thing away from the light assy.
