Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
(if so equipped)

If bulb replacement is required, see your NISSAN
dealer.

CAUTION

Aiming is not necessary after replacing

the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, contact a NISSAN dealer.

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.

Only touch the base when handling the

bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Touching the glass could significantly
affect

bulb

life

and/or

headlight

performance.

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, contact a NISSAN dealer.
