Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
Disconnect the negative battery cable before
replacement and installation of the headlight
bulb.
1Release the clip on the connector.
2Rotate the bulb counterclockwise and pull
out to remove. Replace as necessary.
CAUTION
● Aiming is not necessary after replacing
the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
● Do not leave the headlight assembly
open without a bulb installed for a long
period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke,
etc. entering the headlight body may
affect bulb performance. Remove the
bulb from the headlight assembly just
before a replacement bulb is installed.

●High pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is scratched
or the bulb is dropped.
● Use the same number and wattage as
shown in the chart.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not
a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

25 feet (7.6 meters) away.
●
18 feet (2.4 meters)
●
2Center height of headlight to ground
●
325 feet (7.6 meters) ●
4Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the center of the headlight to the ground and mark an 8 foot
(2.4 meter) horizontal reference line on the
vertical wall or screen at this height (a piece
of masking tape works well) .
3. Turn on the low beam headlights to illumi- nate the wall or screen and open the hood.

4. On the wall or screen you will observe anarea of high intensity light. The top of the
high intensity area should touch the horizon-
tal reference line. If not, the beam will need to
be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjusterAon each
headlight, then use a suitable tool to adjust
the headlight up or down.
6. Close the hood and turn off the headlights.
