how to remove headlights

i finally got the left side of the 2002 sports package headlights and i can't figure out how to take off the freaking factory headlights....i know there's 2 screws on the top...and then some on the bottom but cant find them...any hints?? thanks

ah hell... everyone is gonna kill me... i was supposed to take pics, but as you know Luke, my digi-cam has taken on a dual personality lol...


maybe i can borrow one from my friend tonight, and i'll take some pics tomorrow cause i dont have work... woohoo.. 5 day weekend...

show off I gotta work 14 days straight so other can have off since I am a contractor .... I am stuck here so eveyone don't take a holiday from Posting .. else I will bored to death .. this is one of the few sites not blocked by our firewall at the power plant .....

this is by memory, so watch out :smoker2:
on my 2001 there were the 2 screws on top, and 1 screw on the bottom.

The bottom one you will first see (long and skinny...sticking out a few inches) is NOT the screw, it is to adjust your beam projection.
(damn, I still have to adjust that back)

The one you want is near the adjuster screw. I think about 2 inches towards the center of car from the adjuster.
It is a nut that bolts on a screw that is part of headlight assembly.

Now towards the outside corner is a little metal thing that slides in a rubber thing. Just pull back on assembly, and it'll pop out.


good luck

thanks for thehelp..i'll try that later on today...
b00gie...i SWEAR i'll post the signal nismo primera today!!! hehe

lol.... we'll see... :p

I was finally able to remove the right headlight (the one by the battery). I just kept looking around for that other screw. It was a really small one below the long one that adjusts the bulb angle. I was wondering how to take out the left headlight because there are more wires blocking the back of the headlight so I can't reach back there as easily as the right one. Is there a tiny screw in the back like the right one or is it connected differently? Please help me out with any info. Thanks guys.:confused:

Haven't you asked before? Don't bother.. No one will ever reply. You got an email address? If I can remember how I did it I'll email you

i just ran out and looked at mine.
I don't know.
I don't see any other screws on the other (passenger) side.
Maybe it pops out. You know how the other side has that little metal nipple thing that holds in one croner?

Maybe there is one or more of those on this sides headlight.
hmmm.

any infiniti service department ought to know.

I have removed the headlights on my NP a couple of times. It was pretty straightforward, but it was on an early P10, so I can't help you with P11. I'm assuming you have new headlights. Why don't you look at them and compare them and see hoe thay are attached? just a thought...
