How to change a factory bulb on a 06 Touring?

[p8nman-n]

Hey all!

I am just looking to switch bulbs in my 300. I can get to the passenger side oh so simple. However the driver side is a pain in the rear. I cant fit my hand down behind the headlight, and I tried unscrewing the 2 bolts at the top of the headlight hoping it would loosen it enough that I could squeeze my hand in there! Uhh... that didnt work!!

What do I have to do? I am hoping to stay away from taking the dern motor out (sarcasm off now) to change the driver side headlight!

Thanks in advance for the help!

It shouldnt be that hard. I have a 05 Touring and and all you have to do is remove one bolt that holds down the stock air filter box. Remove the box or just move it to the side and the headlight bulbs are right there. Ill try to get a pic of the bolt im talking about. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Yep, you're going to have to remove the air box.

Thanks for the tips guys!

thats a dealership for ya...when my dad was a mechanic for nissan, the door rate was $101 an hour...im assuming all dealerships run on the same principal and your total to change a light bulb would have been about 125 bucks with bulb included

Wowzers... thats exactly what they told me it would run!! I was thinking, they look at the car for 45 minutes and then work for 15.

OMG. They wanted to charge you $125 to put bulbs in ? Its a 10 min job at best.


Glad to see you figured it out
