Replacing the HID Headlights in a 2006 Nissan Maxima?

[mclark002]

One of my HID Headlamps blew out just recently so I was planning to replace them both with brighter (Whiter) color HID Lamps. I have read that you must remove the bumper, other say you must go thru the front fender well. Does anyone know the best method of access and approximately how long of a job this will be and the dificulty level?

Also are the any recommended sites for purchasing the HID Lamps?

Thanks in advance,

Marcus

Removing the bumper is pretty easy, for a first timer I would say 30 minutes to get it off. This is probably the easiest way, I;ve done it quite a few times. There are 2 screws on either side going up into the front fender, clips where the grill are and on the splash guard underneath. Then remove 5 bolts from the headlight and your done.

Thanks for the info!

I will give it a try this weekend after I order a pair of new bulbs!
