Xenon (low beam) headlight
(where fitted)
The gas discharge headlight is a projector style
which uses a xenon headlight bulb.
WARNING
mHIGH VOLTAGE
When the xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an electric
shock, never attempt to modify or
disassemble the xenon headlights assembly.
Should the xenon headlight bulb need to be
replaced, have it done ONLY by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
Xenon headlight bulb replacement:
CAUTION
The following safety instructions must be ob-
served when it is necessary to replace the xenon
headlight bulb yourself:
When handling the bulb the necessary pre-
cautions should always be taken on account
of the high pressure (i.e. wear gloves and
safety glasses and use the bulb in a closed
headlight, etc).
NDI1268
LIGHTS
Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-25

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Only hold the xenon headlight bulb by the
base.
The bulb is manufactured from high-quality
quartz and is under high pressure.
Damage, soiling, and fingerprints should be
avoided and, if necessary, removed with alco-
hol before installing the bulb.
When the headlights are switched on, the
bulbs produce a certain amount of UV radia-
tion. In order to avoid any impairment of health
(burning and conjunctivitis), the bulb should
only be used in closed headlights with appro-
priate UV–absorbing front glass.
Due to the risk of burning, the bulb should be
left to cool down for 3 minutes after switching
off before touching.
Due to the use of mercury and various salts,
the bulb should be treated as special waste
when discarded.
The bulb may only be operated with a suitable
ballast which produces very high voltages
when switched on and during operation.
Contact with bulb and wires should therefore
be avoided and a safe distance of at least 30
mm should be maintained.
Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
CAUTION
High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is
dropped.
When handling the bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE
GLASS ENVELOPE.
Use the same number type and wattage as
originally installed.
Aiming is usually not necessary after replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is nec-
essary, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for a long period of time as dust,
moisture or smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A bulb
can be replaced from inside the engine compart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop, if
you need assistance for bulb replacement.
1. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
2. Disconnect the negative (—) battery cable. 3. When the broken bulb is located in the headlight
assembly under the air duct, carefully remove the
clips and rotate the air duct
jc clockwise a 1/4
of a turn.
4. Remove the cap (
jAorjB ) of the headlight as-
sembly.
5. Turn the connector 1/4 of a turn in the anti clock- wise direction and remove the headlight bulb.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of re- moval and make sure that the cap is securely
sealed with the headlight body.
7. Where removed (step 3.), re-install the air duct
jc and clips in the order of removal.
8. Reconnect the negative (—) battery cable and close the bonnet.
NOTE
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. The fog
is caused by a temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens. This is not
a malfunction. If large droplets can be seen, then
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
