I was just wondering if anyone has an easy way to change the passenger side fog light in an '04 Maxima. I'm assuming the light assembly needs removed. If anyone has done this and has any advice or a how-to, that would be amazing. Thanks!!!

Welcome to NICO.

I don't have a manual available here at work, but I'm sure someone will pop in to lend a hand. If not, I'll check into it later for you.

It's a tight fit but you can get to them, the dealer would recommend removing the bumper (which is easy as well but unecessary)For the driver's side you need to remove the intake or the stock air filter. This will give you access to the bulb. For the passenger's side, remove the fluid reservoir (there's 2 10mm bolts holding it in place). After that you'll need to remove the fill tube for the windshield washer fluid. You can do this by twisting it counter clockwise. After that you should have access to the bulb.That's it!

Thanks Guys! I changed it tonight. Took about 10 mins I just hope the drivers side doesn't burn out anytime soon...it looks like it'll be a bit tougher to get to. Thanks again!

No worries man, and yes the driver's side is a bit more work, keep your fingers crossed!
