Shop Discount Headlight Bulbs

I changed the headlight bulb on my 1999 Sentra GXE and went to check it after I completed and the hi beam light on the dash will not go off now and When I do activate the hi beams the bulb I changed goes dim.

Check and make sure that it's the correct bulb type. The manual that came with mine was the stock '99 Sentra manual and the bulb they listed was *not* the correct one. When I installed it, the low beam was brighter than the high beam.

After several hours of 'WTF!?', I finally noticed that the old bulb was a different part number than what the manual stated (and I had installed). A quick visit to the part store to get the *correct* model and my headlights work like they're supposed to.

Is it a H7 globe? (2 pin) You may have installed it the wrong way round. But this still doesn't explain the high beam light on the dash...Let me look into it more.

Could someone please explain to me how I am suppose to get into the headlight to replace the bulbs. Thank you!

If halogen bulbs, they come out from behind and you may have to move an item to get at them. They just turn CC to come out, and CW back in. DO NOT touch the bulb, if needed use clean paper but no greasy fingers. Good luck, Tom

This should help?

How do you replace the left headlight bulb? It is out and we are going to try to change it ourselves. It is the Xenon kind. Any help is appreciated.

According to AlldataPro, you have to remove the radiator cover under the hood, remove the inner fender shield, disconnect the lower bumper cover, disconnect the headlamp housing and then remove the bulb. Seems like a lot to have to do to replace the bulb.

And, a caution; Anyone with a heart condition or a pacemaker should take caution; 25,000 volts available.

How do you remove and replace the headlight bulb in this car? It appears to be removable from the rear, but Im not having any luck.

Once you get the cover off, there is a piece of spring wire that holds the bulb in. There should be 2 strands that unhooks on one side & then it swings open, replace the bulb & then reattach the spring. becareful not the touch the glass of the bulb. Some parts place will install them for you.
