This is a newbie question. I'd like to know if replacing the pop-up headlight bulbs on a '93 240sx is a complicated matter. The bulbs I have in there are really weak, especially my right one, and I have trouble seeing at night. I'd like to buy some of those halogen bulbs with the blueish tint, but I don't know if they would fit, and how hard it would be to replace them. Could anyone give me some advice?Thank you.

Stock, it's actually the entire headlamp. Very simple procedure. You can either get some sylvania replacements or just get an h4 conversion (recommend pdmracing.com one, not the ebay ones) - replace both instead of just one.

1) Pop the headlights into Up position.

2) Unscrew the 4 bolts hold in the headlight - 2 on either side.

3) Wiggle out the plastic housing.

4) Unscrew the 4 bolts holding the bracket against the headlamp.

5) pull out the headlamp and unplug the harness.

6) Replace and work backwards.

GOOD LUCK!
