I used this video to replace my passenger one last year and now I’m replacing my driver side one. Thanks again!
Excellent video! Exact process and all lights are now back in action, thanks! My total time was about 45 minutes, including watching this video. Saved me a ton doing it myself! Appreciate it!
It can by a little tricky, but hopefully our video helps you out. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Not necessary. I’ve changed my headlight bulbs a few times. Only a 5-10 minute job. I go through the wheel well. You can turn the wheel to get a little room or remove the wheel and it’s easier. I’ve done both ways. Just remove the screws around the edge of the wheel well and the screw on the bottom of wheel well under the front of the bumbler, peel back the wheel well liner reach in and remove the bulb. EASY!
Wow thanks so much! ALOT easier ur way 😎
Thanks pal. It's unfortunate that nissan had to make it so utterly complicated just to simply replace a blown light bulb. But atleast i know how to do it now lol. I have put my maxima up for sale because i am sick of crap like this that nissan has done. Theyve made it a hassle to replace even the simplest things..but enough ranting lol. thanks for the great video
Thank you for this video!! This saved me about $200 that the dealership was trying to charge me. These steps were perfect for my 2008 Maxima
Thanks for guiding me through it on my wife's NM 2007. I pulled the bulb twist-out instead of the wiring-connects for the running lights below. On the main units the wiring-connects were very real buggers. Nevertheless, ...we can now SEE at night again !! All thanks to you. Thanks so much Mike. 1AAuto is now on my short list for parts - down the road. KV - WNC
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I have a 2006 Maxima and used your directions. A pain in the ass, but it was just as you said. You just saved me $250 in labor charges at the Nissan dealership. I also ended up saving money by not buying the expensive stock Nissan halogen lights and bought standard 9006 halogen lights. They're not as bright and the tabs needed to be slightly adjusted but all is good.
May I ask you..what type of bulb you used?
THANK YOU.!!!!!!!!!!!!! great video made removing the bumper of the maxima way easy i watched this video enough to memorize it and and it took me less then 10 minutes to have the bumper removed and it was not heavy to set down or put back on, everything just fell in to place thanks alot. dont be afraid like i was lol its not hard at all.
thanks 1A AUTO PARTS.
Nice work. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Wow- I can't thank you enough for this! Last year I replaced the driver's side light, and I opted to go by another video that showed how to do it through the wheel well- this procedure looked too complicated. That light took about 3 hours , most of it cursing. This time I decided to try this technique, and it was so much easier. Absolutely no problems at all, and less than a half hour! Thanks again!
+skotrock Thank you for the positive feedback, we really appreciate it! If you have a minute, drop us a review on our Facebook page to let other people know about your experience with us. Here's a link: facebook.com/1AAuto/reviews/
Great video, had to change one out and this was a crystal clear video of how to... Even tho it took me forever to just get the headlight out all the nuts and bolts were exactly where you said. Thank you so much for this video!!

I want to thank you for the excellent video. I was able to replace the HID bulbs in my daughter's car in less than 2 hours. The list of tools in the beginning was very handy.
+Mark Worden Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com
Great video which made it a breeze to follow and get the burned out HID headlight bulbs switched out. No dealership visit for me!! Thank you!
Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
i just replaced one on a 2007 nissan maxima on the driverside i just removed the air box assembly
Very Detailed video...I'm about to go do mine right now...THANK YOU!
You're welcome. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You can't replace just the lens because it's a fused piece from the factory. The headlight assembly may be removed in a similar way as the halogen ones in this video. There may be a few different steps in removing them. Here's a link to them on our website. Just copy and paste into your browser 1aauto.com/1A/HeadLights/Nissan/Maxima/1ALHP00936/561689/2006?ATony
amazing info. Can you please post a video on 2002 Nissan Pathfinder headlight assembly replacement.
Thank You
Thanks for the video. It works like a charm.
We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows this particular auto repair.

Hello
Gigantic huge enormous THANKS
THANK YOU!
I quite enjoyed doing this
I dont
Well I didn't
Know squat about cars
So I sat there in ignorance
Uncertain about what to do etc
"Oh just take it to the mechanic?"
Screw that!
Your video helped me out tremendously!
I got me thinking
Geez
If something i truly believed to be impossible and out my control...can be EASILY solved!?
The possibilities are endless
Today I want to say i...
Im a man
THANK YOU FOREVER!!!🔥👊🔥

Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
We currently do not have an auto repair video for that particular vehicle.
We currently do not have a video that shows you how to aim the headlights.
Unfortunately we do not have a vehicle to do the replacement on for the ballast.
Thank you for the video.
How about a video on clutch replacement? I have a 2004 6spd and clutch is going to need replacement soon, would be nice to have an idea of how to go about it.
This was an awesome video! I need to replace my right headlight😓
Thank you for watching. Here is a link to the headlights on our website.

Great Video. I have an 05 maxima se and both my headlights have been going out on me but i can turn the switch on then back on and light work for a little before 1 (PS/DS) goes out again. I guess i have to get the HID set but that almost 1000 for the pair i hope i can find some for less.
You may also want to check the headlight switch to see if it may be going bad. Check the back of it for excessive heat damage. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
Didn't think about that; ill go find out how to do that and get back to you. Thank for assist
If you have the dealer run your VIN # they can tell you if you car was equipped with them.
What a great video... took me just over an hour, includes watching the video! Excellent tutorial guys well done & thanks
You may be able to get one from the dealer, if you missing one.
great video, is there a way know which type of headlight bulb an 06 Maxima uses with out taking out the bulb first? the manual states D2S for xenon and 9012 for Halogen
You would have to remove the bulb to see what type it takes, or the dealer could run your VIN# and tell you what your car came equipped with. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
The electrical system is different,you would need to replace them with HID lights. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
@1Aauto. nice review. by any chance you know the what bulbs do those headlights require? I saw 3 different looking bulbs and I'm planning on changing them myself thank you.
You showed how to get the headlight, blinker, and fog light to come out, but how do you get the high beams out?
How do I know if the ballast is bad/needs replacing?
quick question can you install the ballast on the new headlights because i notice it doesn't have one like the old one does ..
I have a 2004 Maxima with HID headlights. I have a passenger side headlight with a crack in it which caused water to leak in my headlight and ruin it. I was wondering if I could replace the HID headlight with a Halogen Headlight assembly. Would I need to make any modifications to my car or do I just plug it in and install it?
If they turn off completely, there may be an issue with the headlight switch, or if they tend to be dim, look for a loose ground wire in the engine compartment. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Do you have a video on aiming the headlights
thank you so much!!!
+felix romero You're welcome! 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Do you guys have a how-to on replacing the fog lights in the 04-06 maximas?
How much would it cost me to replace the whole headlight unit? Mine is busted up and broken plastic is blocking my bulb. It looks as if my headlight is burnt out.
Is there a way to check if i have Xenon or halogen headlights on my 05 Max? I need to replace mine and want to get the exact one.
Thanks
You might be able to reach behind them to change the bulbs. If there's no room, then they would need to come out.1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Thanks for the great video...I need to change both of mine this weekend.
i want to change my lights to hid but i dont know what to do with that silver plug because the new hid i bought already have the plug and another convertion box
I just took wheel off .and inner wheel well.seemed easier than this way
Don't you have a Nissan Pathfinder to do the windshield water bottle replacement?
Hey there, I'm looking for the clip that holds the fog light bulb into place, I'm missing one of the clip. any ideas?
very usefull channel !!! thanks !
awesome video!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the video. Would you happen to know the size for all three bulbs on a 2006 Nissan Maxima SE? could I purchase them at an auto store ($) and not at the dealer ($$$$)? Could I use Halogen (cheaper bulb) or do I need HID? Don't have the manual and 1AAuto.com has given me more info on my vehicles than anyone else. Thank you for understanding the not so wealthy people and thank you again for all your time and effort.
We currently do not have the bulb sizes on file. If you take the bulbs out, they should have a part number on them. Here's a pretty good site where you can look up you application too. hope this helps you out. www.sylvania.com/en-us/applications/automotive-lighting-systems/Pages/lrgmain.aspx#fldYear
Please advise the part number(s) and the quantity for the required clips when generally break due to age. The plastic clips often break due to age. This is a good time to replace ALL of the plastic clips.Please also advise the part numbers for ALL of the lamps as this is a good time to replace ALL of the lamps.
great video. wish me luck.!
+Manny Ortiz Good luck. Please let us know how it comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
do the bulbs come with the headlights form 1aauto?
We show in the video how to unscrew the big cap that holds the main beam in and how to remove it. Hope this helps you out.
Your video is awesome, I do however have a quick question that 1aauto might be able to answer. I have a 2005 nissan maxima, and the little metal locking clip( squeezed it in to release)that you released to actually change the bulb for the socket, what is the part and where can I find it!? I'm at a loss, and I don't want to buy a whole new mount from the dealership! Can you please give some direction?? Thanks!!
+Matt Murray Thanks for watching! Those are metal retaining clips that are part of the the assembly. You cannot purchase those individually to my knowledge, you will have to get a complete assembly. We have them for sale here! www.1aauto.com/1A/HeadLights/Nissan/Maxima/1ALHP00699?UA-cam&CTA+Comment&P2bhyaswOhU
Hey there,
I have 2005 Maxima and I need to change the front turning signal bulb, please tell me there's an easier way than what you did in this video!
+AM MD Thank you for checking us out. In some cases you may pull back the fender well lining, but if you are unable to access it on this side you may follow our video procedure. 1aauto.com
Hello again,
Thank you for your response, I saw the video when they remove the fender well liner, but what I actually did is; I removed the water bottle to have more room and I also removed a triangular plate that holds the bottle and I changed the signal bulb without removing anything else. I wanted to share that with you because I thought this might be easier for inexperienced people like me.
Thank you.
yea same for the back you gotta unscrew everything to get to the lights
I would like to know what type of bulb it is. I have a 06 Nissan Maxima, same as the one in the video, and i would like to change the original stock HID bulb it haves to a after market HID bulb but i need to know exactly what type of bulb it is. All I know is that the OEM lighting system of my Maxima haves hi/low in the same bulb, any help it will be greatful, thanks
+William Pyatt We currently do not have that information available to us. If you remove the bulb, there should be a part number on it that you can match up at your local auto parts store.
hi, do you know the difference between halogen and HID projector? how can i tell which projector i have. i have aftermarket hids.
+1ComboA If you're not sure, you can have the dealer run your VIN for you and they could tell you what the vehicle came equipped with. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
Is this the same process for a 2010 Maxima?
The process may be a little different on your vehicle. We will keep this vehicle in mind for future videos.

nice tanks
Thanks for the video! I have an 05 Maxima with the Halogen Assembly. It looks like the connection plug is the same. Can I purchase the HID Assembly you sell and swap out with the Halogen Assembly? Thank you 1AAuto!
Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
I need those headlight bulbs anyone know what brand they are???
Ford owners: this engineering is ridiculous in this triton v8
Nissan maxima owners: really.....try changing a bulb on my car
Why did they make it so complicated 😔
how much xenon bulb itself for 08 maxima
$100
This some bullshit. I gotta do all this to change a damn headlight wow
Thats why they cost more..then a honda ..the maxima is a entry leavle Luxury Sport Sedan ..Accord is compared to a Altima ..
Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out!
1aauto.com 888-844-3393
this is the worst!!!! car to change a light blub, i have a 05 max to i thought there would be a ez way but if this is the only way omg makes me want to get a new car lol
wow what a stupid stupid design!!!...ive owned lots of cars and NEVER had to pull a whole front end off to simply replace a bulb!...why??? how could Nissan screw up so badly....
+Shane Tutt Thank you for checking us out. The designs of newer vehicles are becoming more and more tough on DIY'ers to replace more common parts such as a bulb. 1aauto.com
All this for headlights? Wtf? I'm not looking forward to doing this haha
+Daniel Boltz Thanks for the feedback!
and then it cost 150 bucks for a new bulb!!!!! only 20bucks for bulb in a Honda!
Poor engineering by nissan. Honda & Toyota are way better easier cars to work on
