Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.

In this video we'll be replacing the side marker light on a 2001 Nissan Maxima. This is the same procedure for any 2000 to 2003 Maxima. You need to remove the headlight and then after that you really don't need tools. The tool you need to remove the headlight is a 10 millimeter wrench.

I'm going to speed through the headlight. It's pretty easy. It's two 10 millimeter bolts and then pull it out. If you do want to see this video in real time you can check out our other videos, just search for a Maxima headlight, but I'll speed through getting the headlight out and then take you through the side marker. Okay, now you can just twist to remove and you can service the bulb or replace the light if you need to. Then obviously to install is the reverse. Then you put the back in first and then just press the front.

We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.
