Replacing the xenon headlight bulb
WARNING
cHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an electric
shock, never attempt to modify or disas-
semble. Always have your xenon head-
lights replaced at a NISSAN dealer. For
additional information, see “Headlight
and turn signal switch” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section.

uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. Be-
cause the headlight assembly must be removed
from the vehicle for bulb replacement, see your
NISSAN dealer.

the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, contact a NISSAN dealer.cDo not leave the headlight assembly

dling the bulb. Never touch the glass

nificantly affect bulb life and/or head-
