HEADLIGHTS

Replacing the halogen headlight bulb

The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which

uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. Be-

cause the headlight assembly must be removed

from the vehicle for bulb replacement, 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

originally installed:
Low beam:

Wattage: 55

Bulb no.: H11*

High beam:

Wattage: 65

Bulb no.: H9*

*: Always check with the Parts Depart-

ment at a NISSAN dealer for the latest

parts information.

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.
