Summary Comments : [ChrisFix] How to Replace a Headlight Bulb (Tips and Tricks)

Pe********:

Guys (and girls), I just did mine about 30 minutes ago. Here are some tips:

1) The connector is on pretty tight. (That's for a good reason. You don't want it falling off or loosening up while you are driving. ) To get it off, pull it straight out as you gently rock it very slightly from side to side. It doesn't have a clip or a fastener so don't worry about breaking anything, just pull it bit by bit with the very slight rocking motion and eventually it will come out.

2. Be VERY CAREFUL getting the rubber protector off. You don't want to tear or damage it, otherwise water will get in to your headlight housing in the future and probably ruin your headlight and maybe cause a short will which will burn out a fuse as well. Besides just pulling around the edges, try to loosen it up around the middle as well. DO NOT USE A SCREWDRIVER on it, otherwise you will probably tear it. If you tear it, you'd better order a new one from Nissan.

3.) To remove the connector, push the top of it to the left (I think it's the left).

TIP: My suggestion is to get a small mirror to be able to see what you are doing. And a good bright LED light as well.

4) Note carefully how the light comes out. It goes back in the same way -- with the single prong at the top. There are some tabs on both sides that fit into a slot on the housing and which hold the bulb in position. Make sure you fit the tabs into those slots so that the bulb is securely in place. Again, with a mirror you should be able to see this.

5. To get a bit of extra room, you can undo the nuts on the headlight itself, which will allow you to shift it upwards a couple of inches and get a bit more clearance to remove the bulb. You will need a 10mm wrench. (or socket wrench).

The first time you do this job it might take you 20-30 minutes. After that you should be able to do it in about 10 minutes or less. Maybe as little as five minutes if you are a pro. :)

Don't worry if it seems difficult: The part most people struggle with is pulling off the electrical connector (which is on tightly), and getting the fastener off and putting it back in place. if you follow the suggestion above, you should be able to do it with as little pain as possible.

Also, some people suggest using 'dielectric grease' on the terminals to ensure they come off more easily the next time around.

Best of luck and pls post your results here.

Gr**********:

You also don't want to touch a light bulb you recently had turned on -_- I burned the heck out of my hand changing my headlights when I took them out after turning on the high beam

AL******:

Thanks, Chris...the best advice you gave was to always replace bulbs in pairs.

Wh*******************:

Chris: go check youtube
Me: to quote Obi Wan, “that’s why I’m here”

Re***************:

this guy's voice so soothing does anybody else agree? like anything he says I really don't care because he sounds good

Ro***:

Why don't you use some dielectric grease at the electrical connection?

n1*****:

great tip on replacing both at the same time, just smart, thanks Chris

vo****:

I wish the lancer lights were this ez to change out

Ja********:

Good video, very useful. Good production matters! Thanks!

zx*******:

I was waiting for the "replace in pairs", smashing :-))
And the old working bulb can be put back in the pack just in case :-)

That car looked nice to replace bulbs, some manufacturers seem to take pleasure in making it a real pain in the bum to even get to the bulb, bits in the way, special plastic covers and other such daftness.

Shame manufactures dont get together and use one style of bulb on all cars.

Sc********:

“The other thing is, go look in your owners manual.” The shade is real

Sn***:

Hey Chris, can you do an in depth video on installing HID conversion kits? I have seen a few already but the other videos I have seen  just speed through it and edit half the crap out with half assed explanations for things. I know if you do one, it will turn out a lot better. Thanks

Mi***:

I just want to thank you ChrisFix. You don’t know how many times you’ve helped this clueless girl with her car. You’re amazing!!!!

An**********:

DO NOT get any bulb with blue coatings or rings! They will dim dramatically over a short span. I have ge nighthawk platinums ( blue rings ) and night driving in the rain is no fun. You won't see a beam pattern until you're in front of another car.

Da************:

You did not show detaching and reattaching the electrical connection...I need to see that part... :(

Au*********:

only chris fix can take such a simple task and make it look awesome

Ap**********:

what about blub grease? should we put it?

Bo******:

Thank you so much!  You give such great descriptions and directions. I liked the tips you added...very helpful!

sn********:

How do I change my blinker fluid?!?!?!?

Da**********:

Quick fun fact: I've used to work in a factory where workers pack different kind of car lights like H1, H4, H7 etc. in duo-boxes and you don't want to know how many lights have been dropped and packed anyway. You just don't want to know... or even touched with hands without gloves...

ma************:

This morning I was told my headlight was out on the passenger side and I was like are you freaking kidding me. How do you even get to that!! Thanks to this video I know how to now

Er*******:

Don't get angry if a parts clerk tells you he cannot install the headlight bulb on your particular vehicle. parts clerks sell parts. they are not mechanics.

Ma************:

Owner's manual?!
"That's a name I haven't [looked at] in a long time.... a long time.."

Da******:

I usually only recommend getting those Ultra bright bulbs if you tend to drive around in the country with very little street lamps as they really help compared to stock. They also make a great upgrade to high beams as well since they rarely get used so they tend to last longer anyway and you’ll get maximum brightness.

This is all if you don’t want to do any HID or LED conversions that is and you want to keep your lights stock.

Va********:

Thanks a bunch, figured it was a job I could do myself.

ma*********:

You forgot to grease those rubber seals, 1 on the bulb's base and 1 on the connector. Water will get in the connection and corrode it over time. There is water in the air, we call it humidity or moisture.

DM**:

Thanks Chris! But where to put the bulb grease?

Wa*****:

Also don't touch your bulbs with your hands , because oil in hands can crack them when they heat up

Po*******:

Of course Chrisfix has a video on this topic :) Thank you for the effort man, god bless you

Vi***********:

Make sure you don't spill ANY of the blinker fluid! (hehe)

Ja******:

I should probably put the hammer down

NX************:

Thanks man my mum's headlight on her car has been out for a while and now o can fix it for her

Ro*********:

Meanwhile changing a bulb on a new renault he would have to make like a 10 part video at least xD

ff****:

Polish out those headlights

Go********:

I love how a million ppl had to see how to do this...i being apart of them!

He**********:

If you consider bulbs with a lot of light thinking of how often you're going to use them. If you live in a country where you can drive with the headlights off during the day (in Norway you can use the foglights instead of headlights) you can some lifespan that way. (But don't turn your lights off and on all day as that's bad too.) When one of my headlights died out I changed to Osram Night Breaker bulbs and they're still working good after a year. It made my car feel newer and I found myself not using my high beams as often as I used to.

Lo**********:

Hey Chris! (Really testing if you answer every comment here...) I bought 9006 bulbs off of amazon (product title and description says 9006), but they sent me 9012. It's very tempting to return them and try to find them in store, but other faucets of the internet told me that the only difference is the size of the tabs that lock the bulb in place when you turn the assembly, which is very easily altered with a nail clipper or file or something. Thought I'd try to run it past you to make sure.

I'm planning on taking the old bulb to compare it with the new ones.

Ri******:

What would you recommend for brighter headlights? I already replaced the actual lens/casing, so I have new ones, and new bulbs, but when I drive at night... the most I get is a faded yellow glow that lights up not-that-far and only reflectors. A lot of the roads I drive to/from work dont have street lights, and are either narrow with side ditches, or are highways with a lot of lane barriers that are hard to see. I do a little research but all I see is stuff about halogen, led, hid, too bright, illegal, legal, too hot, needing fans... Id like to get brighter lights but I dont want to compromise my cars efficienty by getting something thatll pull too much power, or something that will literally burn too hot. I know very little about it and googling just results in the same list of worries. My cars a 2000 pontiac sunfire... but I also have a 2004 saturn ion now that I may apply the same lights to. Thanks again man!
