The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which

uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb.

They can be replaced from inside the engine

compartment without removing the headlight as-

sembly.

Maintenance and do-it-yourself 8-25

CAUTION

● High-pressure halogen gas is sealed in-

side the bulb. The bulb may break if the

glass envelope is scratched or the bulb

is dropped.

● Aiming should not be necessary after

replacing the H4 bulb. When aiming ad-

justment is necessary, contact a

NISSAN dealer.

● 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 base when handling the

bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.

Touching the glass could significantly

affect bulb life and/or headlight

performance.

● Use the same number and wattage as

shown in the chart.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.

2. Disconnect the electrical connector

䊊

from

the rear end of the bulb.

3. Pull off the rubber cap

䊊

4. Push and turn the retaining pin

䊊

to loosen

it.

5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake or

rotate the bulb when removing it.

6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of

removal.

Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the

exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A

temperature difference between the inside and

the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not

a malfunction. If large drops of water collect

inside the lens, contact a NISSAN dealer.

HEADLIGHT AIM

The aim of the headlights may require adjustment

when replacing the headlight assembly or when

the vehicle’s front body has been repaired. When

the adjustment is required, follow these proce-

dures, or have them adjusted by a NISSAN

dealer.

Before performing the headlights aim adjust-

ment:

● Check the pressure of all tires for the correct

inflation pressure.

● Check that the tools and spare tire are

stowed securely.

● Check that the fuel and lubricants levels are

filled to correct capacities.

● Unload all luggage and other items, which

may influence the vehicle’s height level.

● Load a weight on the driver’s seat that is

equivalent to the weight of a driver.

Stopping the vehicle

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface vertical to

the wall or screen to which the headlights

will be projected.

2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to deter-

mine the point P as shown in the illustration.

The point P must be:

“H” is the distance between the headlight’s

center point to the level surface.

“WL” is the distance between the left and

right headlights’ centers.

3. Mark point P on the wall or screen.

4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in,

16.4 ft) straight away from the wall or

screen.

”L” is the distance between the wall or

screen to the vehicle’s front bumper.

Adjusting the headlight aim

Be sure that the vehicle is parked directly vertical

to the wall on which the headlights will be pro-

jected.

1. Turn on the headlight low beam

2. Open the hood.

3. Turn the aiming adjustment screws

䊊

located inside the engine compartment, until

the headlight projection, on the wall or

screen, does not move.

NOTE:

The aim adjustment screws are located on

each side of the headlights. The lower

screw

䊊

is used to adjust the horizontal

aim. The upper screw

䊊

is used to adjust

the vertical aim.

The screws can be turned indefinitely in

each direction. Therefore be sure to ob-

serve the headlight projection movement

to determine the necessary turning

amount.

4. Turn the lower screws

䊊

in the opposite

direction until the headlight projection be-

comes 70 mm (2.76 in) below the point P.

Once the left headlight has been adjusted,

perform right side adjustment as well.

”C” is the distance between point P and

point

䊊

5. Turn the upper screws

䊊

in the opposite

direction until the horizontal headlight pro-

jection’s turn point

䊊

is directly below the

point P. Once the left headlight has been

adjusted, perform right side adjustment as
