How to Replace the Headlight Bulbs on a Nissan Altima?

Model: Nissan Altima L33 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Headlight bulb

Replacing the headlight bulbs on a Nissan Altima is a very simple and quick operation. Let's see how to proceed in this tutorial. Since the workspace in the engine compartment is limited, you will need to access the back of the headlight from the wheel well. To do this, fully turn the steering wheel toward the side you will be working on, then remove the plastic clip and move the panel enough to access the headlight. At this point, you can extract the bulb holder by turning it slightly counterclockwise, replace the bulb, and repeat the process for the opposite headlight.
