My god, how refreshing, I was struggling with this one, my son and I tried for an hour to get the darn ring on. So I start looking at videos and one guy talks about the bulb for 5 minutes another guy fails to show the housing at all, others just skip the important parts then I found this one and these guys explained everything directly, they didn't talk about nonsense for 5 minutes and I got it done in 5 minutes after watching this video.
Best video to yet. Took 5 minutes without removing intake box. And, replaced passenger side that I had Jimmy rigged in lady tome cuz I didn't get it aligned w the 3 tiny slots.
Procedure is the same for a 2012 Frontier. You can do this job without removing either the air filter compartment or the battery but would be easier access if they are removed. I removed neither but did loosen the battery straps so it would shift to give more access for fat hands. Hardest part for me was unplugging the wiring plug from the old bulb. The release clip is hard to fully depress and even when depressed didn't totally "unlock" from the tab on the bulb. I removed bulb while still plugged in and fished the entire assembly out the top--not a lot of slack in the wiring but doable. Then I used a screw driver blade to gently pry apart the locking clip from the retaining tab. A little WD-40 on the washer and new bulb slips in, be sure to gently twist/push to get tabs/notches aligned. Then put on the retaining/lock ring and turn to lock. Finally plug in the wiring and test. Anxious to see how my upgrade bulbs perform--I've been seeing the deer way to late on these backroads--hope these new ones are brighter and light farther down the road. Thanks BundysGarage, you got me started and gave me some tips. Take their advice and WEAR GLOVES, hard to do without inadvertently touching the bulb.
Ya, that would be NO! NEVER use petroleum based products on rubber, unless it's a nitrile o-ring (iirc) petroleum will attack the rubber! To be safe always use instead a silicone based grease or spray.

Fine straight forward video. Thank you. I also pulled the battery for ease of access to the right hand bulb.
You are welcome
Yeah straight forward. One of the comments stated that they removed battery on driver’s side

If it’s a wiring problem, then what? I did the test, and yep, the high beams work.
What is the number for the front turning signal
Just Google Sylvania light bulb guide and it will tell you all you need to know.
