Default Changing headlight bulbs

I am in the Irving area, and just wondering if there is someone that could help me change out my headlight bulbs or if you know of a place to recommend. I just do not dare to take out the fender wall for fear of ruining the clips.

Don't even hesitate.
Those new-style clips that are on the 350Z are sooo vastly superior to the old style of years gone by !

You can do them over and over and they keep right on working.

Uhhhhhhhm? If you were reffering to actual removing and access, then you MUST remove the front tires and then the inner dirt-shields.

...and when you do remove the tire, and inner-fender, DON'T remove all of the fasteners.
Just take out about the front half of them.

That inner-fender is VERY flexible. Just remove enough of the fasteners to pull the liner down enough to get your hand in there.

If you remove the whole inner-fender, when it comes time for re-installment...alignment can be a real booger ! (and YES, this is the voice of experience talking )

Hey, thanks for the advice! I went ahead and did it myself. It took me a couple of hours, but I am very happy now. That clip that holds the bulb in was the biggest b*#tch. I couldn't figure out how to get it back in, so I had to do the other side before I could see how to get it back in.
