Hey guys,I just bought a 08 Nissan Armada Le a couple weeks ago and i want to change the headlight bulbs to xenon. The manuel only states to go to the dealer to get it changed. Anyone know how to change them out or dismount the headlight assembly to get to them. Please help. Thanks

Turn your wheels so the front wheel wells are exposed, remove a couple of screws attaching the wheel-well panels to the fenders, peel back the panes and the back of the headlights are exposed. You might be able to access the high beams from the engine compartment if you have a small hand.

Welcome to the Armada/QX56 Forum! Cheers from the staff here at NICOclub, we are glad to have you here!

bk836 is exactly correct! Best way to access is to turn the wheel and access through the wheel well area. It is a little difficult the first time, but after that, it is a piece of cake.

OK....got the installation procedure down. So I guess there's no need to replace the whole head light assembly if you want to upgrade to Xenon?

going to a true Xenon is more invasive. You have to install new ballasts. I would suggest purchasing the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs, easy upgrade, and less expensive.
