Does anyone have an easy way to replace the headlight ballast on the 02 Q without taking the front bumper off? I picked up replacements on ebay yesterday in 2 auctions. I beat out the same guy twice. First one with all the bulbs for $81 the second with the projector lens for $101. He must be pissed! Anyway if there is an easier way i would sure like to know.

I have no idea about how to do it without removing the bumper. However, I can tell you that removing the front bumper cover should take approximately 20-30 minutes if its like every other plastic bumper cover. There will several screws on the airdam lip, a couple inside the wheel well attaching it to the fender and then several more near the headlights and radiator.

Good luck!

Well i think you can get the best solution over here.... http://usautolighting.com/nissan/

heh I had to remove that bumper so many times its like second nature, but from what I come across its not as bad as I thought... I actually had to replace and retrofit for my president headlights.... still sucked but was worth it heres a few pics...

JDM lights are great if you drive on the left.

Otherwise you are blinding oncoming traffic.
