1. Open the Hood: Pull the hood release lever located inside your car, usually near the driver's left knee. Go outside, locate the hood, and disengage the secondary latch. Lift the hood and prop it open using the support rod.
2. Locate the Corner Light Assembly: The corner light housing typically consists of a clear lens cover and is located at the front of your car, at the outermost edge of the headlight assembly.
3. Remove the Old Bulb: Some Maxima models may have a twist-lock mechanism for the bulb. Twist the bulb counterclockwise to unlock and remove it from the socket. For other models, you may need to gently pry open the tab holding the bulb and pull it out.
4. Choose a Replacement Bulb: Look for a bulb that is compatible with your car's model and specifications, typically 194 (Amber).
5. Install the New Bulb: Push or twist the new bulb into the socket. If it has a twist-lock mechanism, turn the bulb clockwise until it clicks and locks in place.
6. Test the Light: Turn the headlight switch in your car to the "ON" position and see if the corner light illuminates properly.
7. Reattach the Housing: If you had to pry the tab open to remove the bulb, gently snap the tab back into place to secure the corner light.
8. Close the Hood: Double-check that the hood is securely closed and latched.
It's essential to follow the specific instructions provided in your car's owner's manual, as different models may have slight variations in the process of changing the corner light bulb.
