Hi,

I have 2002 Nissan Maxima GLE. One of the Daytime running light is not working. Can anybody tell me the procedure to replace the bulb?

Thanks,Bodhayan.

Is it a Canadian car? Maxima shouldn't have DRL. Which lamp is it using for DRL?

This is not a canadian car. I cannot attach images in this forum. So I uploaded the images on picasa. Here is the link http://picasaweb.google.com/bo...02GLE.

Steps to replace the HID bulb. Hope that helps. If you are talking about the parking light then you can get to that without much problem other than having to move the battery out of the way on the drivers side.

I was talking about the light above the parking light. Have a look at the images in my previous post. I think it is the DRL, isn't it? Do you think it is the same procedure as replacing the Parking light or the HID bulb?

That's the parking light. The Maxima did not come with DRL's.

Above is the passenger side headlight. The yellow arrow points to the parking light and the red points to the turn signal. Reach behind the headlight to replace the bulb. As I stated before, on the drivers side you will have to move the battery out of the way to have easier access. Grab the gray plastic connector with your fingers and twist to remove.
