I blew a headlight globe this week in my Nissan Patrol, so spent the afternoon yesterday to replace them. It is recommended to remove the grill, indicators and headlights to replace the globes, but I didn't do it that way. There is another way, that is removing the airbox, but you have to remove the nuts in the wheel arch and hope the bolts don't turn on you while doing it.
I took the straight forward approach and work on the rear of the globes, but the left hand indicator is very close to the airbox and if you have big hands, you're in trouble. I did the right hand side first which is relatively easy, then the fun began on the left side. Getting the wire retaining clips off was quite difficult as getting to it with your fingers was difficult. I ended up using some wire to hook on each, making it easier to get the both sides off. All good with the rest apart from getting the retaining wires back in place, the wire used again, making it easier.
