LIGHTS HEADLIGHTS Replacing the xenon headlight bulb WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE When xenon headlights are on, they produce a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock, never attempt to modify or disassemble. Always have your xenon headlights replaced at a NISSAN dealer. For additional information, see "Headlight and turn signal switch" in the "Instruments and controls" section. ● Do not leave the headlight assembly open without a bulb installed for a long period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering the headlight body may affect bulb performance. Remove the bulb from the headlight assembly just before a replacement bulb is installed. ● Only touch the plastic base when handling the bulb. Never touch the glass envelope. Touching the glass could significantly affect bulb life and/or headlight performance. ● High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is dropped. ● Use the same number and wattage as originally installed: Low beam: Wattage: 55 Bulb no.: H1* High beam: Wattage: 60 Bulb no.: HB3 (9005)* *: Always check with the Parts Department at a NISSAN dealer for the latest parts information.
