Hello All; I am new to the forum but not to Nissan. I traded my 06 Murano for a Armada yesterday and I am extremely pleased. I am trying to buy a few items at a time until I get her the way I want. The first thing I don't like is the head light color. I purchased some Silverstar Ultras and want to change the low and high beam. I did a search but I cannot find a easy way to replace the headlight bulbs. Can someone send me step by step instructions.

Thanks All

I did the same thing recently and what you are going to need to do is unsnap the inner fender liner, the clips are toward the edge of the fender wells. By unsnapping all of them you can move the liner back and down so that you can get your hands in. Pay attention to how the liner slides out of the clips. Make sure you open the hood so you can see what you are doing.

Just untwist the lights, I believe counter-clockwise to remove and then disconnect the electrical connectors. Reconnect the new bulbs making sure not to touch the bulbs and lock in to the headlight housing, then snap up the wheel liner.

One other thing to be mindful of is that you need to make sure that the lights are seated flush in the housing otherwise your headlights will be pointing all different directions.

The Silverstar Ultras are 50% brighter than the stock bulbs.

Hope this helps.
