Hey guys I ordered some headlight bulbs - is it pretty easy to install them yourself? What kind of tools do you need?

just your hands really, it isnt difficult, if you have a TT it can be a little tight but otherwise shouldnt take long

How about aiming them? I think I saw something about an aiming kit that should be somewhere.

When you look straight down at the headlight from above, you can see two places with phillips head screws. I'm pretty sure they are in both back corners of the headlight assembly. Turning the screw in either direction will change the angle

If you don't know what you're doing, best to just leave them alone. Even the Nissan dealer doesn't know how to use the headlight aiming tools nowadays.
