To replace the front headlight on a Nissan Pathfinder, open the bonnet and start by removing the front grille, which is secured with clips or screws at the top. Carefully unclip it to avoid breaking it. Once the grille is removed, you will have access to the bolts securing the headlight assembly.

Unscrew all the headlight mounting screws and gently pull the headlight outwards.

Disconnect the electrical connectors for the bulbs at the back of the headlight. Then, position the new headlight in the housing, reconnect the connectors, and secure it with the bolts.

Refit the front grille and ensure it is properly attached. Close the bonnet and check the lights for proper operation.
