Headlights Bulbs
How do I change the freakin headlight bulbs ??? Or does "NISSAN have a special tool for that?

Very easy! Nothing special required except a philips screwdriver:
1. Pop up the headlights using that switch next to the steering wheel (and you thought there was no use for that switch!
)
2. Undo the 4 screws holding the black shroud in place.
3. The shroud is also held at the top by clips - don't break these! Just push the shroud back and down to undo the clips.
4. Take the shroud off (you may need to bend it past the headlight alignment screw at the bottom middle)
5. Now you will see the four screws that fasten the metal ring around the headlight. Undo these.
6. Carefully remove the headlight.
7. Slowly wiggle out the rubber connector on the back of the headlight.
8. Once the headlight is free, twist off the metal cap around the back of the bulb (press it down gently first).
9. Tada! Bulb comes out.
Please don't put a higher wattage bulb in there, because it will melt the connector and possibly some wires. By the way, you might want clear headlights - check this post: http://200sx.za.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=38&start=15
