does it have HID's? if not you can unscrew the large plastic cap on the back of the headlight housing and gain access to the bulb. The halogen headlights on the newer nissans is completely different from prior nissans. It looks almost like a fog light bulb.

lolis easy

on driver side you have to remove the intake to get a good look and handle at the bulb.

on the passenger side remove the windsheild washer funnel it pops right off and the coolant plastic tank

I hope this helps if not I think i can find some pics of a the headlights being changed.

i know my car has had a cold all year long:icesangel. My setup is very quiet and deep so get that if you want a nice deep tone. I have vids if you want. If you want a loud F1 race sounding car get a Injen Cold Air Intake.

Make sure you remove the clip don't unscrew it or you will lose the small screw easy (don't ask how I know) just push down then to the side it will unclip.
