Hi ya all~
I've been trying to replace the xenon bulbs since they do not seem to be that bright.
Anyways, when I first tried to remove the door on the back of the headlight assembly, there was a torx screw. So, I removed that screw with torx tool.
After that, I tried to turn it counter-clockwise, but it would not turn. I gave it enough force to turn, but it would not move. It felt like it would break when more force applies.
Is there any other screw in hidden place?
Do I need to give another try with more force?
Man... Used to have 02 Maxima and those were so easy that only took me a minute to replace the xenon bulb.
Anyone can help?

There is no other screw in place. All I know is that it is being held on by 2 pegs. Sorry, but I cannot verify which way to turn, but I do know that you'll have to turn it a bit harder (if not pressing it in) to unlock the pegs off the igniter.

Hmm....
I always thought myself as an expert in working on cars, but it was my first time I gave up.
Well, I will give one more shot tomorrow or so...
thanks for your info.

ok expert, when you look at the black covering, you will notice it will say unlock and point to that direction, and you can use force if you want to, you wont damage anything. Mine didnt want to twist, so I used a screwdriver to give it a push.

Well.. I thought that giving more force to push it harder may break because it was around 20 degree today and you know things break easily when it's cold. Well.. hopefully I can work in my friend's garage not outside when it is like 20 out there.

yeah, i know the feeling, i hate winter.

good luck, and one advice, there is not much space to work there, so wear some kind of thin gloves so you dont touch the bulbs by accident.

good luck
