• Can burn out, flicker, become dim, or emit a yellow hue when not functioning properly
• Good to replace all headlight bulbs when one becomes damaged
• Can decrease visibility while driving if burnt out

The Headlight Bulb in your Nissan is probably a component you utilize often, but never give much thought to. But, you'll certainly notice when the bulb gives out and the road ahead looks unclear. Don't wait until your Headlight Bulb is completely dead to buy a new bulb. If you notice that your Headlight Bulb is inconsistent, flickering, or has a yellow hue, it's likely time for a replacement.

A worn out or broken Headlight Bulb could create hazardous driving conditions. Compromised visibility not only increases the chances of a collision, but can make it challenging for other drivers to see where you are on the road. In some places, driving a car while you have a burned out headlight is grounds for a costly traffic ticket.

Before you purchase a single replacement Headlight Bulb, it's important to note that when one Headlight Bulb burns out, the others likely aren't far behind. For that reason, it's smart to replace the Headlight Bulb for both sides of your Nissan at once. This can also ensure that you don't have mismatched bulbs with differing levels of brightness.

If you want to, you can replace your Headlight Bulb on your own, but it may be tough to locate the right spot inside the body of your headlight since Nissan models can vary. Be sure to check your Nissan owner's manual for instructions that apply to your specific model/year before you try to replace a Headlight Bulb on your Nissan. Alternatively, head to a nearby Nissan dealer or service site.

Each Nissan model has a different headlight system, so your Nissan will need a particular Headlight Bulb. Ensure you get the right one for your Nissan when you order directly through Nissan online.
