Hey All
I would like to change my light bulb for my S14, but I dont know how to change the light bulb...( LOW BEAM)
For the hight beam is easy, you can just simply just turn it counter-clockwise then you can take out the bulb.
But for the Low beam. how to change it? pls help
thank you
Someone might say "search" others like myself say just take the whole light out like I did. Take the side lights out first and there are 2 bolts that hold the side in and then take the 2 bolts from the center grill. There are a total of 8 bolts to get both lights out. I took this route to take the lights completly out, so I can paint the inside of the lights.

He's right, the easiest way to get the lows out is to just pull the whole damn light out, especially if you have big hands or low patience...

agreed... there isn't enough room for you to pull out the lightbulb, assuming your hand is small enough to fit in that narrow gap. pull the corner lamps and the grill and remove the headlights per instructions above. make sure you don't lose the retaining pin. i don't even know if nissan sells those seperately.

Hi DCT223
Thank you so much for the picture and instruction
by the way, I have check my corner lamp.. i only found one bolt which is on the top. where is the 2nd bolt locate at? Sorry that I am a newbie here.. My bad...
To Chuy.. you said that are 2 bolts for the corner light..
Left and right. then it would be 4 plus the two in the grill then it would totall be 6 right.. how did you get 8 bolts out?
sorry
Thank you for your help... Great appreciateion

There is not a second bolt on the corner light, once you take out the top bolt you will have to pull the corner light out. It has like a pin type thing in there so you just have to pull it forward (towards the front of the car) and it should pop out.
Once you have the corner light out you'll be able to see the rest of the bolts to remove the headlights.

i put in the low beams on my car without taking out the headlamps... and my hands are not that small... If you know how to take out the bulb its really not that hard. But yea taking out the whole headlight makes it just a lot easier.
for corner lamps... you unskrew the top skrew, and u gotta pop off the whole corner lamp, which takes some force but it will come off.

I did the first time I replaced mine on my old S14, and the subsequent headlight replacements saw me just removing the damn headlight, and I got it in a million times faster
