[@EricHarvey-gr8xn]

This video is great, just finished the job using this video! The dealership wanted $1800. Save me a bunch of cash and made my daughter’s car safer! A million thanks!!!!

[@themechanic6117]

You're welcome. Glad it helped you!

[@briananderson7497]

It's so nice to be able to see at night again. I live in a very rural are, so I was dependent on High Beams to see at night since there are no street lights of any kind. When cars approach, their lights are usually enough for me to see the the road without too much problem. A couple weeks ago, I was driving in the rain when a car approached. I couldn't see anything and ended up running off the road and picked up a bunch of dirt/needles. I thought I needed to replace the bulbs, but then found your video and it explains everything. Now back to normal except I need to adjust the lights up a little more. Will finish that tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

[@wm973]

It's insane the way you have to change the headlight assembly. That should be a lawsuit in itself! Nice job and great upgrade.

[@themechanic6117]

Yeah it's not ideal, unfortunately lots of cars are like this nowadays

[@uncapabrew4807]

Right! And we all know once removed never fits as tight as once! I just need bulb removed!

[@TheGaryNinja]

Hey awesome video. Was wondering if you have a tutorial with a radiator removal and replacement. I'm guessing you would need the bumper off the same way that's in this video

[@Tribunal1023]

This has been so helpful. I haven’t heard anything ANYTHING from Nissan. They have been a headache to work with. So much so I’ve been turned off by the dealership and likely won’t be purchasing a Nissan after my experience

[@hollyealvarado6690]

Easily one of THE best part repair I’ve watched over the years. You hit so many details and I really appreciate the “extra” bits of information you added. Where hidden bolts/screws were, what the inside of failed headlight looks like. Thanks for the headlight glamour shots too. That was funny. Lol. Awesome job.

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[@darrylbolin6855]

I am not a handy guy but after watching this video a couple of times I got up the guts to try it. Took an entire Sunday but the job is done and this video made it possible. Thank you! thank you!

[@themechanic6117]

You're welcome. Glad you got it done! 👍

[@Seluecus1]

I've been wanting to replace my headlights, entirely, just because with the current lights, any oncoming light source drowns out mine and makes it nearly impossibly to see the lines on the road, let alone anything that might suddenly cross the road. I'm sure some of that is my astigmatism, but most of it will be brighter lights (Other vehicles, even street lights) drowning out my dimmer lights. This video is incredibly informational for anyone wanting to change out their headlamps without having to take it to a shop, and spend a ton of money to have someone else do it.

[@howardbaker6766]

Thanks!!! Came across your video because the wife was complaining that her 2016 Altima headlights seemed very dim. Thought it was bulbs and was researching how to replace them. Very informative video, from the mechanical side to the lawsuit. We never got any kind of notice in the mail for her car and I am guessing it has the same issue. Again, great job on the video and the information provided!!!

[@themechanic6117]

You're welcome ,thanks for watching

[@jackzu6483]

Guy...you know your stuff!!!! Me and my son just followed your video to the letter and no issues. I have never removed and put back together this much of a front end on a car. You covered every detail we needed to complete the job. You just made driving at night safer for my family and cant thank you enough!!!! As far as Nissan they should be ashamed of themselves for not getting every one of their cars into a dealer and fixed at Nissan's expense. When we called Nissan dealership they wanted the car brought in for a diagnostic test of the electric system costing $100s and then they would repair at our expense. They have lost us as customer forever as they have proved they have no regard for customer safety. Cant thank you enough as you saved us a lot of money and I am pretty sure you may have saved a few lives!!! Thanks again and for sure will subscribe.

[@danielcorral3583]

Out of like 6 videos this is definitely the most helpful I got my headlights replaced in like 45 minutes to an hour and this is coming from a guy with not that much mechanical experience

[@themechanic6117]

[@lyndonbritt2]

Dude... FANTASTIC video. I replaced bulbs twice over the years as it began to dim thinking it was the bulbs. Even purchased a lens cleaning kit, but never used it because the lamp itself wasn't that distorted. Now I see why. I'm replacing the headlight assembly on my 2015 Altima and my 6 speed 2004 Acura TL. This video saved me some time and I haven't even stated the swap yet. THANK YOU very much.

[@themechanic6117]

Glad the video helped you 👍

[@luvnualwaz]

Thank you for the confirmation. My headlamps are Useless. The dealer denied replacing my headlamps when I brought my car in within the Class Action timeframe based on Nissan's standards. A blantant disregard for Safety. I've changed Numerous bulbs including HIDs. Never buying Nissan again. Your video is a Savior.

[@ecapskcab8688]

I had the same issue with my 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe. I ended up purchasing new headlights as you did and retrofitted LED H11 Bulbs. The difference after bulb replacement is night and day. I also heavily recommend going through the trouble of adding fog lights. Fog lights on Altimas create an amazing field of view. Thank you for creating content!

[@themechanic6117]

I'll keep that in mind. Now that the headlights works I'm sure a set of LED will make a big difference over standard halogen bulbs

[@honestone490]

In my 2016 Altima SR which doesn't have the LED daylights. I agree.

[@TheGhorki]

Hi Mr. I am having this issue. Could you pls guide me what to do.

[@TheGhorki]

As a result i am driving with high beam

[@emericc]

Thanks for the tutorial. The dealership and a local shop quoted me an arm and a leg to change the headlights. Did it myself in less than 2 hours and saved a bunch of future headaches. Thanks a bunch again!

[@tonysu8860]

Thanks for this video. I just purchased a 2015 Altima and can verify it's a major problem and until I can get those headlight assemblies replaced, I have to drive with high beams on all the time. At first I replaced the halogens with xenon. Then I bought a polishing kit and polished the outside but neither of these two solutions worked and I noticed a slight bit of oxidation on the inside of the clear housing but didn't think that should be the main cause and only now am looking to replace the entire housing and found your video. As described in this video, the car is extremely dangerous to drive at night until fixed. I'm surprised a recall hasn't been issued for this fix. Two nights ago I hit some object in the road I couldn't see due to poor lighting and burst the passenger side front tire and had that replace with a temporary tire. Luckily(?) I was traveling only 30 mph so although the collision was enough to burst the tire it didn't cause more damage or so I hope at this time. Thank you for the link to the lawsuit, I will study what my options are before doing anything more myself. It looks like after October 2022 (My comment here is Nov 2022) it may be too late (after Sept 2022) to be covered in this lawsuit. Does this mean another class action lawsuit needs to be filed? I wonder why the class action lawsuit terms were so tight, to only cover extending the new warranty an additional 3 years to 2021 and then another year for "out of warranty" replacement? This headlight problem will be a never ending problem for Nissan as no defective headlight assembly should fail within 10 years, maybe even 20 years... I wonder what the industry median lifetime is for this part. Looks like I may contact the attorneys for this lawsuit, get whatever info I can and decide what to do then. Maybe contact Nissan to see if they will volunteer to do an out of warranty repair. IMO this is an extremely dangerous safety issue and should be subject to a recall for replacement. I wonder why the DOT hasn't gotten involved in this issue, maybe the lawsuit itself can provide details on that.

[@themechanic6117]

I'd definitely try contacting the dealer first and see if they'll replace them for free.

[@majesticgent]

There is a recall but I have been waiting since March and the dealership claims there are no parts...

[@moneyhungry9165]

@@majesticgent Man i haven't got anything from Nissan about that.

[@archfapper211]

There is a recall on the headlamps but Nissan is not honoring it. Been dealing with this for over a year.

[@greenmanislife]

Same thing happened to my Nissan 2013. I contacted the dealership. Past the settlement date. I contacted the settlement website. No use. Let use know if you find anything worth pursuing. When I ask the dealership about a recall, he said, I am directed to send you to the settlement website, which offers nothing. I'm sure there are plenty of Nissan owner's that are just now experiencing the same issue. Mine started about 2 weeks ago, I can barely see at night. I agree with you, it is a major safety issue and should be a recall.

[@dxcreepin99]

Great video! Everything was explained clearly. The hardest parts were putting the new headlights in and cleaning out the dead bird between the bumper and the flashing underneath.

[@themechanic6117]

That sounds nasty lol . Glad the video helped you

[@faithgiant_Ps91]

My 2014 Altima had this issue a little over a year ago. I was VERY thankful that Nissan replaced both of my headlight assemblies due to the recall lawsuit. They said it was about a $1500.00 job, and I'm glad I did not have to pay anything for this service. I actually had to wait 3 to 4 months to have it done, because of the tremendous amount of people that were on the list for this service to be done.

[@lizbethlivebyfaith]

Did you pay for the labor upfront at the dealership and then get reimbursed? I received the lawsuit documents in the mail that said the lawsuit will only reimburse the parts and not the labor. I would have to turn in the receipts to the attorney firm for reimbursement. Did you call Nissan directly? I have a 2014 Altima and searching online to buy new headlight kits for both sides. Any suggestions anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. 😊

[@faithgiant_Ps91]

@@lizbethlivebyfaith the dealership did not charge me anything. But I don't know if the lawsuit/recall is still active. It's been sometime back when I got it done. But I did not pay upfront, as the cost was going to be nearly $1500 from what the dealership told me. I was very grateful to get it done for nothing

[@lizbethlivebyfaith]

Thank you for the detailed video! I did step by step. It took me about 3 hours. But I am still not satisfied with light of my headlights. It's not LED, but it's clear enough, but shine seems like steps on the way toward right and not far enough. And yes headlights need to adjust, and you clearly explained that!

[@targetplayer]

I had the headlamp assemblies replaced on my 2013 Altima. Initially the new ones were aimed too far downward like in your video, but at least they were bright. I had the aim adjusted at the Nissan dealership (no place else would/could do it and I'm currently unable myself). Now they're aimed properly but BACK TO BEING DIM just as it was with the old factory headlamp assemblies. I'm at my wit's end.

[@jeffj7391]

Appreciate your thorough video as it was very detailed and helpful which allowed me to make this switch out with minimal issues. Biggest issue I had was rusted bolts and torn out clips from the seized bolts and clips. Huge improvement and now I am comfortable driving at night. Great job and thanks for putting this out...

[@BruceLyeg]

That's a pretty clean looking Altima. At least people aren't driving around with those super bright blueish purpley headlights anymore. Glad you can now see at night

[@themechanic6117]

We are the original owners of this altima and it's never been in a major accident or anything like that so the car is in decent shape for being a 2013

[@honestone490]

The fake BMW lights that don't work. Yes I totally agree.

[@tonysu8860]

At least in California, there are limitations now on the "bluish" tint, IIRC it's 6000 kelvins where to the eye the light is white and any blue is imperceptible. Higher kelvin numbers would graduate towards purple and are illegal. Lower numbers graduate towards orangish and appearance of natural sunlight.

[@Meeerph]

Thanks for this video. I thought it was just me getting old and being scared of driving at night. I even hit some junk in the road one night and had to put on a new bumper / turn signal. Wish I would have put in new light assemblies when I already had the bumper out lol! Just ordered my new light assemblies and am super pumped!

[@stevekulick2974]

Although grille replacement is easier for other Altima years, the plastic bumper cover must be loosened up for 2015. Minutes 2 through 6 are an excellent guide. You don't have to remove the bumper cover completely nor disconnect lights. It just has to be loose enough to reach in with a stubby philips head to loosen the screws in the 4 corners of the grille. If the old grille is trash, you can snap off the tabs with your fingers or a pair of pliers. Make sure you reposition any of the clips that come loose when you remove the philips screws in minute 5.

And also fue those who have sold their vehicle, take your receipt! You too will be reimbursed because you spent the money to replace them. You have to show them your receipt.

[@applejack2374]

@@travelwithgoose that isn't familiar to me. I had not heard of a test. Butin further research, I found out that Nissan is still not admitting to any wrongdoing. The replacements are being done because the judge ordered Nissan to do it, rebellious Nissan didn't issue a recall. I would guess that they are trying to minimize their cost of replacing the headlight assemblies. Try telling them that it is very dangerous to drive your Nissan at night and you have come into some life threatening situations because you couud not see the road ahead of you. Then subtly drop a hint that it would be cheaper to replace your headlights than to face a wrongful death lawsuit from your family if something happened to you as result of the defective dim headlights. That's not legal advice, it's the sort of manipulative drama I would create in a situation like this. It just might work if you make them feel liable. Good luck and I really hope you get them! OK?

Thanks so much for posting your outcome. Just a few questions. What year is your vehicle? Did you buy the vehicle at the same dealership as I know that helps sometimes getting it serviced faster ?. I've been finding that only that the 2013 and 2014 vehicles seem to be prioritized by most of the dealerships in getting serviced first. I love your advice you gave BumpGoose on prodding the dealership to get the vehicle serviced. I agree the better prepared you are when you arrive at the dealership for service goes a long way in getting a more positive outcome.

Question. Nissan refuses to replace mine. They say that class action window closed last year. How did you get yours replaced this year?

You do good work and I enjoy your content.

Thank you

So is it just the factory headlight that fails or any of them. How long will last if you go through the cost and pain of replacing?

[@seangrandy7676]

The factory headlamp assembly had a flaw in the reflective metal inside that gets burned up and doesn't reflect light as well over time.

My mom has a 2008 Altima coupe and watching this video makes me think what all Altima owners think "Should of bought a Toyota."

[@themechanic6117]

I'd take a Toyota over a nissan lol

[@honestone490]

It depends on which Toyota your talking about.

When u turned your high beams on where they good though bc I don’t know exactly if this is the problem my normal headlights r super dim but when I throw the brights on there super bright but if it was same way for u imma change then immediately please let me know if u see this?

[@jeffl7643]

Did u happen to get these when they were out of the warranty date? Mine is. Trying to see if I can file a late replacement for these

[@Phantoast37]

have the same problem with my 16 altima, I thought it was just weak bulbs because one of them burned out recently, replaced them and still terrible, looked it up and saw the lawsuit and many videos on changing the whole assembly

[@lelarobichaux6925]

We replaced with these exact headlights a couple of years ago and are having the same issue again. Wondering now if it's the car itself and not the headlights. We've also had to replace the transmission in this 2013 Altima twice in the last 6 years. The lawsuit actually reimbursed us for the cost of the headlights and it only took a couple of months (just FYI).

[@UnknownPubStomper]

Hey man! Appreciate your video and I hope I’m able to get you to reply, do you happen to know the part number of the piece that holds the front bumper to the panel? Ur installing it back in around 12:07

[@UnknownPubStomper]

12:04 is where u show it

[@blainemcdonald6972]

Does this pertain to the 2017 Maxima too

[@daviddavis9155]

How are the headlights holding up? need to buy some and some of the reviews don't seem enticing.

[@northshorgrl]

This happened with my 2017. Altima. Paid for replacement and same thing..Dim. I told my daughter to drive at nights with Brights, they're not much brighter than normal headlights.

[@btrockel]

Awesome, thanks for the detailed info.
