1. Remove the front fascia. (See First Figure)
1. Remove radiator grille. 2. Remove screws on each side of bottom of fascia that attach fascia to bottom of fender protector. Partially2. Ensure lighting switch is OFF. 3. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 4. Remove the combination lamp mounting bolts. (See Second Figure) 5.

replace a maxima headlight bulb
do you have to go to all this trouble to replace the headlight bulb?
I just replaced mine and all I did was pinch the sides of the black plug together to release the plug from the bulb. Pull the rubber boot back and unclip the bulb and replace. Just make sure you do not touch the bulb itself. |

I agree this is service unfriendly.
What is the fascia? Is it what cars have now that they no longer have bumpers? |

For the 2005 maxima you can remove a couple screws from the fender liner and gain access to the bulb by turning the steering wheel all the way depending on which side you are working on. Pull the fender liner back and you can get to the cap for the bulb. It is much easier this way.
The 1999 maxima is much easier. You can open the hood and gain access from the back of the headlight.

Thank you!!!!
I took mpe235 advice and went through the fender well and it worked like a charm. I had the bulb replaced in no time. I would definitely suggest this way than rather remove the radiator grille or bumper as some told me to do. Thanks again.

I gained access to my driver's side combination halogen bulb (L-shaped plastic / bulb unit) by removing the air cleaner housing (one bolt, then pull up out of rubber grommet mounts). I then removed the large plastic cover by turning counterclockwise to unlock. This exposed the bulb. I unplugged the electrical connector. At this point I couldn't figure out how to remove the bulb. Some on the web say rotate the bulb, but there is something preventing it from turning. Anyone know how to remove the bulb?

I have read some information from your site in regards to changing a headlight bulb on a 2004 maxima[passenger side]. Which way is the easiest.

I see how to replace the bulb, but is anybody else getting quotes for $130 for just the bulb itself? There has to be something less expensive

I was getting quotes from the 125 - 170s for just one damn bulb.

I haven't tried it but I have been told a 9006 bulb will fit. Those are around $20.00.
