this car is soooo stupid. mine is on the other side.. changing these stupid car is soooo retarded.. my 95 civic.. less than 10 seconds…
now i have to move the whole fucken thing just to get to a stupid bulb… what were jap thinking ?
thanks really helpfull
after I changed two bulbs only the one on the driver side lights up, the one on the passenger doesn’t light. when I put back the old bulb to the passenger side it still doesn’t work. Do you know why?
A vid on how to “replace” the bulb but don’t actually do it. Ok so how the hell DO YOU REPLACE THE ACTUAL BULB???????????????
This is great!!!! I just it right now during my lunch! Some mechanics wanted 50 dollars! Thanks man!!!!
Thanks, man! Just swapped out the bulb over lunch.
Thanks.. This video was very helpful. Myself, my mom, and my sister were able to change my low beam light. Yes, three women.
Im glad it worked for ya, and yup aligning that thing was a little bit of a pain…
You’re welcome!
Way to make Dad proud! Yup, most definitely a pain…
Amen!
Welcome!
Lol! I stared longer than that before I decided to dive in
Holy smoke, you must be super strong or something, I haven’t had anyone else say that they broke anything, but Im glad I helped a little!
I love saving money!
So helpful. They wanted to charge me $50 plus the bulb to change the low beam
On the other side you just take out the coolant reservoir and the tube on top of the windshield washer fluid thing (twists off).
Omg thank u!! Im a girl who fixed her own headlight :))
Dude THANKS, worked exactly like you said on every step. My prob was the snap in bottom of the filter…1 of the 2 broke off and the bolt on side of car frame that holds air filter in..I broke head of the bolt off…other than that it worked exactly lie you said. Life saver. THanks!
Lol! What a pain in the ass!
thankxxxx !!!
Thank you…stared at the headlight for 20 minutes before I decided I need help.
THANK YOU !!
im an only child (girl) and i totally had my dad impressed when i had him watch me change my own headlight haha – i will say this was easy but a pain in the ass
super helpful video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3
Now I just need a video for the other side.
I had my driver side bulb periodically come on and sometimes it won’t. Finally it’s now completely off, so I thought it was burnt out so I replaced the bulb and turned the lights back on, it’s still out. I’ve checked the fuses under the hood and they are fine. Does the bulb need to be completely in the housing in order to come on? When putting it back into the housing, it doesn’t seem to settle properly. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hey Thanks a ton – Props to you
Just did the replacement this morning, was as easy and fast as you said it’d be. Thanks!
If you are talking about the TOP to the air filter box then you need to make sure the tongues on the engine side of the air filter box cover are inserted into the loops on the bottom portion of the air filter box. Then, you shoud be able to lock the snaps which will secure the top portion to the bottom portion.
Nope, it should be pretty straight forward, just push down on the box. You will know the box is lined up when you are able to line the one bolt up that holds the air box in. It shouldnt be tricky at all
To put the airbox back in is it as easy as just pushing the airbox back down until you hear a click or do you have to line it up in a particular way/maneuver it back into it’s locked position?
Is it possible? Yup. Its very unlikely though…but if they went out at the exact same time then its something electrical and not a bulb issue
outstanding video, made it very easy to replace. hardest part for me was aligning the gray light housing and putting that back in place. Big thanks!!
Is it possible to have both headlights go out at the same time? I checked all fuses am there fine.please help!
THANK YOU, good sir. No more than 10 minutes ago I popped the hood and said “nope, not right now.” That looks way easier than I thought it looked.
I know. It took me about 2 days to get that bitch back on. and then the damn light still didn’t work. WTF
My left head light must have a short because my light still not working two bulbs later.My brother has the same year make and model and the same thing happened to his ! Someone help me out por favor
Fk Nissan and those fkn retention clips! Those tbings are a pain.
You are the bomb.
Hahaha! “Bugger” Love it man!
Fantastic, worked like a charm……thanks for the info..
Thanks!!!! Super easy to follow :)
Fantastic tutorial! In and out in 10 minutes – thanks a million!
Thanks for posting this video, I have an 06, and scared to change the bulb. Im going to watch this vid 2 more times before i try it. Thanks for posting it.
Local Walmart’s Mr Lube “mechanics” kids tried and failed to replace headlights on my 2006 Altima saying it is too complicated and I should refer to the dealership (which was closed for the day). Bought the replacement bulbs anyway and replaced both sides in about 30 minutes with help of this video. Imagine that.
Thanks for your help, saved my day and at least some of my sanity.
Jesus christ…after trial and tribulation i decide to look on youtube and realize i was going about it ass backwards…thanks for the vid helped a lot
After seeing this video, I did not see anything to level the bull after install. I paid to Sears local store to replaced the buld, and the right side is almost 5 inches higher than the left, and did not illuminated the ground.Is there any screw or something that after install you turn from one side to the other in order to adjust the height of the light?or the bull came defective or twist to the top?what else can we do wrong? Please need help ASAP.This is one of the best step by step video I see
Thanks, sisters bulb needed replaced and once again, You Tube saves the day.
thanks to you i was able to change that buggr 🙂
