Are you referring to a thread or explanation in the FSM?

You have to remove one screw behind each wheel well, remove screws on top of grill and the screws and clips under the bumper. After you remove the bumper the headlight has 3 or 4 screws. A real pain in the a** but that's the only way.

so you do need to remove it? i'm not that mechanically talented, so i'm sure i can replace the headlight if it will just slide out, but i'm not so sure i can remove the bumper so if i don't have to, then i wont.. i'm thinking about calling a mechanic about that bumper problem..

friggen dealership lied to me by the way, i took it to them right after i bought the car to replace a leaking headlight under warranty (i'm installling custom headlights now) and the bumper came back that way (sagging). I told them the bumper wasn't like that b4 they worked on it.. and they said you don't need to take the bumper off so it couldn't have been them. and at the time, i believed them. Time to go b**** at "courtesy" nissan.
