Nissan Altima: 2005 3.5 SE Headlight Replacement

I had to pay a mechanic $20 to change them. He had to take a bunch of parts
off before reaching the headlights.

well i looked online, actually on ebay, and saw someone selling the whole
casing for a 2004 altima and saw some pictures of the thing, there are two
hidden screws at the bottom of the casing which are impossible to reach
with just the hood open, my guess is that this is more then a half hour
job each light. someone told me i might have to take off the freakin
bumper. but if i can find a mechanic to pay $20, that aint bad compared to
nissan dealer charging me $120, i called it in the other day. $120!!!!

i have a 2002 altima i believe they are the same,. its not too hard. on the
driver side you take out the scoop that connects to the air filter box. on
the passenger side you take out the windshield washer bottle and then you
will see a big round piece with 2 wires going in to it. rotate it counter
cl;ockwise and it will come out and you will see the bulbs for the low
beam......high beam is easier....... be warned the aftermarket bulbs dont
seem to last to long try the hyper white or platinum white not the blue
ones they last longer.........
