    My driver side headlight came out without removing the bumper. However, someone had taken them out before and didn't put the screws in behind the bumper. I'm slowly fixing this car and getting it back to where it should be. Love your videos. I feel like if I watched them all for the 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5, I could take the entire car apart and put it back together! Great content! Thanks.

    Just installed. Excellent quality. Video was helpful. Front clips on front bumper a little tricky. Pry out bumper slightly just under headlight. Long black clip pry up on front of clip to release bumper..

    This is how to replace the entire headlight assembly, not just the bulb.

    Thank you! I just bought a used 06 Altima 2.5S and the State Safety Inspector failed the headlamp lenses (among other things). Then he gave me a $660.00 estimate just to change the headlamps ($ 192.00 per headlamp! plus 2 hrs of labor???). OK, all kinds of alarm bells went off at that price - as well as their grand total of the other charges. So, immediately I googled prices on the headlamps to find his prices were about 350% markup. of course I have changed headlights before ... so, I thought how dang long could it take to change to bulbs?? More googling and VOILA! I found your video! Admittedly, a bit shocked to learn I need to pull the bumper, but its a few snaps, bolts and screws - no biggie. I've had to get to tougher tighter spots on an airplane. BOTTOM LINE - I am purchasing these headlights from you and I will do the install myself. Your instructions are great. I don't have (and don't need) a lift to get to these bolts (Former USAF Aircraft Maintenance Technician and Daddy's Girl - the kind that helps dad work on the car! All those years of tagging along when he did mom's brakes, headlights, timing, tunups, oil changes, belts and hoses, radiator ... and years working on planes have paid off! )

      You can remove the air filter box and easily change the headlights by doing that. My friend who's a mechanic didn't have to remove the bumper he was blown when I told him "hey I thought you had to remove the bumper?"

    Today I bought some nice Sylvanias to replace the nasty yellow factory bulbs. Was just going to do it. Now I'm going to wait till it warms up. Can't be bothered to take the whole bumper off lol. Especially with a big storm just starting to stir up.

    You're definitely not getting these off in a junk yard, unless someone did you a favor and took the bumper off, which is very possible. Mine we hazed so bad you couldn't see any of the internals. Mother's restoration treatment made a world of difference. Eventually I will need to change mine though. Even changed the grill for a two for 1 video.

    I was able to follow these steps to replace the lenses on my 06 Altima. I'm not a "car guy" and it took me 3 hours to complete. I'll figure out how to adjust the lights later. Now that it's all reassembled, I dont think I have easy access to the adjustment screw.
