Hey thanks for the video and to the comment about the radiator fill bottle..! I did not want to take half the front end off to change a bolb on my daughter's 05 Nissan quest van.. Ten minutes done..!
+WHVN72 it's definitely good to know what to expect , while I was in there fixing the low beam on one I must have caused the high beam to go out . So had to remove it twice , it wasn't pleasant . Thanks for watching
s33therfan agreed on knowing what to expect rather than going in blind..but just did all the work to find out that even with a new bulb the low beam still won't turn on..now on to the fuses... Thanks again for the upload 👍🏼
Yes , and it's getting more common with a lot of newer cars. I believe it was a chrysler 200 we had to remove the entire bumper to get to the lights . They just don't make it easy on alot of these cars. Thanks for watching please like and subscribe if you like my videos
But when you drop your Bemer off at the dealership, how would you know how long it takes? Give me a break. Let's see you back up the big boy talk, let's see how fast you are with the Altima bulb replacement..... Iiii know iiii know. Demographically ineffective. Smh
The low beams are going to be H1 and the high beam or bright 9005 . There are a lot to choose from and some can be pretty pricey. It's quite a bit more trouble but if you're looking for a brighter light you might consider converting to an LED with a kit . I know for the money they seem to have really good performance and are cheaper than some halogen or hid. Hope this can help and thanks for watching
Update. I finally got that darn light fixed. Good for me- an excuse to not drive anywhere for awhile (lil silver lining ...) I called Walmart, they said they'd fix it. Got there, all the sudden they couldn't fix it. "Too much involved in changing it" okay could've told me that when i called, i told em what the car was. Smh Took it to the guys who do my oil changes... jiffy lube(i'm pretty sure hmm) Anyway- 30 bux and 15-20 minutes later I was heading home. Huge bonus- didn't break a single nail. Ha. Well worth 30$! Even though I'm a female, I really wish I had learned a lot more about engines... Car, boat, water craft.. Ohh hh ya ...4- Wheelers! My kid has a mini 4 wheeler and it's just been sitting there for over a year now. What a waste of a 4 wheeler. I seriously doubt jiffy lube would fix it. Nonetheless, I Highly recommend them for basic car care/ maintenance! Thanks Good day Anyone wanna buy a cute lil pink camo mini 4 wheeler? Lol.
Definitely not Nissans best idea with light bulb access. Bet they don't tell too many people that they are going to have to remove the whole headlight to change out a bulb easily. Glad you got it fixed 30 sure ain't bad if that's bulb included . It sure doesn't hurt to make yourself more knowledgeable about mechanics , at least it prevents you from being at the mercy of others . Now days there is tons of information on the Internet . Anyways thank you for update and best of luck .
+cramblock in these particular years from 2002 to 2006 you could have either halogen or hid , it just depends on car if it came with premium package or not . From what I understand you want to go with a hid look in a halogen headlamp then you need to use a hid look alike halogen. To properly upgrade to to hid you need get whole hid headlamp. I don't fully understand why an hid kit won't work but basically it just doesn't look right. Hope this is helpful and thanks for watching .
Crap.... there's no way I'll be able to fo this. Darn it. I need to get this darn thing fixed. Idk how i'm gonna manage this one. What a freak i'm about to turn crybaby. Just frustrating
You can do it , you just need a small ratchet with a 10mm socket . I'd say to enlist help from a friend , two heads are always better than one. That headlight has to come out to get to those bulbs effectively . A lot of these cars need the bumper off to get to some of these bulbs. Those fender well flaps aren't a big deal , just turn the wheels until you can get to the snaps or screws etc. The bolt up in the fender is a pain it's hard to see and hard to get to, so that will be your biggest obstacle . Definitely find someone that can assist you that will make things alot easier. I wish I could be of more help , thanks for watching
I really don't know why they started putting so many bolts on these new headlights . You will find this on a lot of the newer cars , some you can get to from under the hood and some it's impossible and the headlight had to come out . Thanks for watching
Actually this guy is doing it all wrong. You simply go into the wheel well, remove a few bolts, peel back the cover, and there you'll have a straight shot at the bulbs.
Thank you for the video, now I can put my low beam bulb in. Glad I found you video even if it was 6 years ago. Sure helped.
You're welcome
Thanks for the post!
I have a 2002 and am running with brights because one is out. I might as well get the assembly changed. It's a great car, though.
Thank you for watching and the feedback . I definitely agree I always love the way the altima handle and ride . Thanks again

Thanks for the upload.. Now I'm really not looking forward to changing out my burnt out bulb...

I swear older videos always got the answers 😂😂
thanks man now i know how to change my light 😂👍
thanks helped me out a lot only thing was i took the whole thing appart to find out i had the wrong bulb🤦♂️
I've done that before , thanks for watching
My god I just did the same thing
I can't believe you did all this... you could have just simply pull radiator reservoir and washing fluid neck....
Thank you for showing this in depth, process is a pain in the ass
thanks for the great feedback, it is much appreciated.
If you remove the overflow tank and the top of the washer fluid bottle ( it turns counterclockwise and comes right out) you can access the headlight
Nice tip , thank you for sharing sir
Yessir I seen a video of them showing
I came here to say this
Ah yes, the hidden bolt! Not much room to get that thing out. Nice job. Thanks!
+Baxrok2 it could go real bad in a hurry yanking a part and missing a bolt , don't ask how I know lol. Thanks for watching
So Nissan... You first install the headlights then build the rest of the car? 😒🙄
That is alot of cars not just nissan lol but i got mine without doing all this i got led now so i got to pull it out now
it's actually easier to just take out the air box with one bolt and work with the headlight in place
YES
If there was only one bolt holding the airbox in, you may be right.
Thank you for the information!
Thanks for watching
So when I was trying to pull the bulb out from the connector the head piece broke from the wiring. What should I do?
I would order a pigtail connector or clip one from salvage yard . Thanks for watching.
How is it that my 328 bmw takes 3-5 minutes to change a bulb but an Altima needs a 20 minute time change? Go figure...

hey im doubtful of a reply but what is the bulb for a night time light for a 2002 Altima 2.5l
The low beams are going to be H1 and the high beam or bright 9005 . There are a lot to choose from and some can be pretty pricey. It's quite a bit more trouble but if you're looking for a brighter light you might consider converting to an LED with a kit . I know for the money they seem to have really good performance and are cheaper than some halogen or hid. Hope this can help and thanks for watching
@@s33therfan so i bought some LEDs for 2003 Altima but they dont fit. Does that mean that I need H1 LEDs?? Thanks.
@@skipbayless7912 well the H1 led will be your low beam and you'll also need the 9005/hb3 for the high beam. Hope this helps thank you for watching
I ended up just breaking off the bottom bolt to get the headlight out. The two top bolts hold it fine.
niceee!!!!
Thank you for watching

Ohh hh ya ...4- Wheelers! My kid has a mini 4 wheeler and it's just been sitting there for over a year now.
What a waste of a 4 wheeler.

What type of bulb do they come with from factory? Halogen?

10 milimeter ranch
miss my 96 camry where it was just 2 bolts
Somehow I lost the spring on my pulsar. Duct tape to the rescue!
Crap.... there's no way I'll be able to fo this.
Darn it. I need to get this darn thing fixed. Idk how i'm gonna manage this one. What a freak i'm about to turn crybaby.

Another reason to never buy a nissan. What a dumb design.
I really don't know why they started putting so many bolts on these new headlights . You will find this on a lot of the newer cars , some you can get to from under the hood and some it's impossible and the headlight had to come out . Thanks for watching
@@s33therfan it's like Nissan built the car around the headlights
Absolutely fucking stupid design. What happen to the the days of just reaching behind the headlight and changing the bulb.
Actually this guy is doing it all wrong. You simply go into the wheel well, remove a few bolts, peel back the cover, and there you'll have a straight shot at the bulbs.
