Title: Knowledge Sharing: How to Change Headlight Bulb
Post by: NSman on September 08, 2009, 09:36:18 PM: How to Change Headlight Bulb

Hope these tutorial can helps too, you need to reach your hand to pull off the connector from the bulb.

After the connector removed, this is how you release the bulb hook lock.

Post by: ordiofile on August 08, 2010, 02:29:56 PM: How do you remove the Headlight H4 Bulb Conector from the Rubber Seal? Is there a catch to it? I just can't seem to pull it out.
Title: Re: Knowledge Sharing: How to Change Headlight Bulb
Post by: NSman on August 08, 2010, 08:56:36 PM: you need to apply some force to pull off the connector
Title: Re: Knowledge Sharing: How to Change Headlight Bulb
Post by: nakshire on August 09, 2010, 03:05:50 AM: sometimes its really really hard if you never took it out before... u have to really use some force. If cannot, u take ur rubber cap out, unlatch the thing, then take ur bulb our together with the connector, then use plier to remove it

Post by: nakshire on December 22, 2011, 03:57:29 PM: take out the connector that holds the bulb, black color that has 3 rectangular edges one.

plug out already, the rubbery hood that you are talking about, you find the ear of it, pull out as though you are pulling out condom like that. then kudos, u can release the bulb already.

This needs abit skill lor, use ur hand to go behind the headlight the feel where is the connectors, just like a blind man using his hand to feel objects. 1st timer takes time, once u feature it out, is very easy, not worth goto any workshop for replacement of bulbs

Post by: skxly on February 18, 2012, 05:43:10 PM: Bro,
Thanks v much for photos, they give me confidence to D-I-Y ... I managed to change the H4 bulb for the left headlamp in about 10-15 minutes ... not so easy as the left side has more cables and limited space to access the connector.

Post by: IvanL on February 18, 2012, 11:04:13 PM: Hi, what about the bulb of the "small light" above the main headlight? do you guys change that?

What about the signal light bulbs? Where can we buy them?

For the headlights, I bought this http://list.gmarket.com.sg/item/SUPER-BRIGHT-100W-CAR-HEADLIGHT/404466102 . is it legal to change them?
Title: Re: Knowledge Sharing: How to Change Headlight Bulb
Post by: RameshLV on March 19, 2012, 10:56:33 AM: Wah Lio.. brudders... Please lah.. why want to spend so much money buying from all of these places on the internet?

I buy from this shop on Veerasamy Road (near Serangoon Road) & get from all of my bulbs, including the headlight, the signal indicator light, the small light above the headlight... his price very cheap 1 lor...

I buy the bulbs at only $5.00 for the MAIN headlight and about $2.00 for the small light and turning bulbs also. He also has the high power 1, for about $8.00 per pair (not sure). I change all of these bulbs myself and save all of that amount.

I will never go back to TCM for any of my LATIO's servicing or replacement of any parts....

Cheers...

Post by: RameshLV on March 19, 2012, 11:51:37 AM: not sure of the shop name.. but it is exactly opposite "EVERYMAN Cosmetics"...

I had to go around a few shops asking if they were selling Nissan parts and then finally somebody told me this guy does...

It is a small shop on the inside.. left side of the road....but this guy does wholesale & big quantities of export business...

I do not know the name... sorry bro....

Post by: black85 on March 03, 2013, 05:02:48 PM: What kind of bulb is the pole light? I just changed to Philips xtreme vision for the headlight, so now headlight whiter than the pole light. Any recommendation for the pole light, type and how to remove it? I think my headlight is at 4300K color.
