How do you change a headlite bulb on a 2005 Nissan altima?

Answer 1

first you have to remove the windshield wiper fluid tank. This is not hard there are only two screws. Also the tube you use to fill the tank can be taken out by twisting the tube and pulling up.

On the other side you will need to remove the air filter box and connected parts. This is also not that hard you unscrew one screw and pull it out. You will feel resistance but its just a snap in box. To take the air filter out pop the two clips on the side of the box and pull the top off take the filter out and place it on the side. Then you can pop off the four plastic clips holding the plastic routing tube the takes the air from the radiator and routes it to the air filter. Use a flat head screw driver for this.

Once all of those parts are removed you will have access to both headlight assemblies. Remove the plastic round cover that blocks out moisture from the lamps and you will see the old lamp just study it and put the new one in the same way. Make sure the grounding plate doesn't rest on the hot lead once you replace the lamp or you will be replacing fuses too!

Class dismissed!
