Replacing the xenon headlight
bulb
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced
at an INFINITI dealer. For additional informa-
tion, see “Headlight and turn signal switch”
in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.
If replacement is required, see an INFINITI
dealer.
Replacing the halogen headlight
bulb
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
which uses a replaceable headlight (halo-
gen) bulb. If replacement is required, see
an INFINITI dealer for servicing.
CAUTION
O High pressure halogen gas is sealed in-
side the bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb
is dropped.
O Only touch the plastic base when han-
dling the bulb. Never touch the glass en-
velope. Touching the glass could signifi-
cantly affect bulb life and/or headlight
performance.
O Use the same number and wattage as
originally installed:
Low beam (Xenon):
Wattage: 35
Bulb no.: D2S
Low beam (Halogen):
Wattage: 55
Bulb no.: H1
High beam (Halogen):
Wattage: 60
Bulb no.: HB3
O Do not leave the bulb out of the head-
light reflector for a long period of time as
dust, moisture, and smoke may enter the
headlight body and affect the perfor-
mance of the headlight.
O Aiming is not necessary after replacing
the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, contact an INFINITI dealer.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens
of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction.
If large drops of water collect inside the
lens, contact an INFINITI dealer.
