Can anyone tell me if there is a easy way to get the bulbs out of a GU Nissan PAtrol. I cannot get in behind the lights. (no room) I am told that there may be a easy way to get the headlight to swing out from the front. Cant seem to get it to work thou.

THere is a long screw verticallyon the outer end of the headlight If u undo that the side light comes out and then u can remove the headlight.

Are you shure that isn't the one that lets the indicator come out? The headlight is held in by more than one long screw.

I don't mind my missus having the last word, I just wish she'd get to it.

It looks like a screw but it is not.

It is a pin just grab hold of it with some plliers and pull it up. Twisting back and forth may help get it started.

That what I said It lets the indicator(side) light out then u can get at the headlight. I cant remember how many screws hold the headlight in but its not many and u have to take side light out to get at them.
Haven't had a Patrol for 2 years so a bit vague on it now.

Thanks to all I will have a go at the long screw theory and see how we go.

Tony is right
If your hand is too big then find a friendly small-handed person with some strength as well as they are a bit tough to get the wiring off especially if its the first time since new.
