did you check the manual? and you did buy d2s bulbs right?

[trancein]

I checked the manual and it says see dealership. Yes I purchased the D2S bulbs.Do you anyone who can help me with this.

personally i don't have a 6th gen and i'm looking at the engine bay right now and it's stuffed, and all covered up. Maybe you have to take out the headlights i haven no idea. I'll look up on it and let you know

[Mr Grey]

It shouldn't be difficult to change. Just time consuming. I doubt you have to take out the headlights. If you like i cant kae a look at it, and see if I can change them for you.

[trancein]

Do you own a 6th gen maxima. If so, yah come on by. PM when you can.

The FSM says you need to remove the bumper and the headlamp to change bulbs. However it seems that all you have to do is just unscrew the caps that hold the bulbs in place.

[Mr Grey]

No..I have a 4th gen, but i doubt it will be difficult. If ity makes you feel any better, I have messed with 2k2 bulbs, and headlights from Acura TL. I have blacked out many types of cars.......

Whatever 6000 bulbs you bought will not be as good as the stock bulbs which are somewhere in the 4000 range I'm guessing. After 4x00 the output actually goes down.

from maxima.org

"or the driver's side, you need to free up some space by removing the intake. After the intake is removed, you should have enough space to get to the lamp. Just turn the harness and you'll have access to the bulb. There is a ground cable that may get in the way as you pull the harness out, you can remove this with a 10mm socket. For the passenger side, first remove the plastic finisher that covers all the fluid reservoirs. The clips come off pretty easily. Pop up the middle with a flathead screwdriver and the clips can be removed. Then you need to remove the the reservoir for the coolant. Two 10mm bolts keep it in place. You don't need to remove it completely, just pull it off to the side so you can work. Be careful you don't tip it the wrong way or it'll leak. After the reservoir is removed, you may want to remove the front metal bracket that holds the reservoir in place. If I remember correctly, it's another 10mm bolt. Just like on the driver's side, the ground cable may get in the way again, so you can remove it with a 10mm socket. That's pretty much it."


Also, you do know that the 6th gen comes with 2 types of headlight bulbs, HID and halogen, right?

[trancein]
