For comprehensive additional information regarding headlight bulb replacement procedures on your Nissan Versa, refer to the detailed instructions outlined throughout this section.

Replacing the halogen headlight bulb (if so equipped)

If headlight bulb replacement is required on your vehicle, it is recommended that you visit an authorized NISSAN dealer for this professional service.

CAUTION

• Optical beam aiming adjustment is not necessary after simply replacing the bulb. However, whenever a formal aiming adjustment is required, it is strongly recommended that you visit an authorized NISSAN dealer for this service.
• Do not leave the headlight assembly housing open or exposed without a bulb installed for an extended period of time. Airborne dust, moisture, smoke, or other contaminants entering the headlight body can severely degrade internal reflector performance.

  Always remove the old bulb from the headlight assembly just before a replacement bulb is ready to be installed.

• Only touch the plastic or metal base when handling the bulb. Never touch the fragile quartz glass envelope with your bare hands.

  Touching the glass surface leaves oil residues that can significantly reduce bulb life span and impair overall headlight illumination performance.

• High-pressure halogen gas is sealed tightly inside every halogen bulb. The bulb may shatter or explode if the glass envelope is scratched, dropped, or subjected to impact.
• Always use the exact same bulb number and wattage rating as specified in the official parts chart.

Light condensation or fog may temporarily form on the inner surface of the exterior light lenses during heavy rain driving or after running the car through an automatic car wash. This temporary fogging is caused by a natural temperature differential between the warm inside and the cool outside of the lens housing, and it does not indicate a mechanical malfunction.

However, if large, heavy drops of water accumulate and pool inside the lens housing, it is recommended that you visit an authorized NISSAN dealer to have the assembly checked.

Replacing the LED headlight bulb (if so equipped)

If LED headlight bulb replacement becomes necessary on your Nissan Versa, it is recommended that you visit an authorized NISSAN dealer to perform this service safely.

For additional information regarding fog light bulb replacement, refer to the step-by-step instructions outlined in this section.

Replacing the fog light bulb

If fog light bulb replacement is required, it is recommended that you visit an authorized NISSAN dealer for this specialized service.

CAUTION

• High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the halogen fog light bulb. The bulb may break if the glass envelope is scratched or if the bulb is dropped accidentally.
• When handling the fog light bulb, never touch the quartz glass envelope directly with your fingers.
• Always use the exact same part number and electrical wattage rating as originally installed by the factory, as shown in the reference chart.
• Do not leave the bulb removed from the fog light housing for a prolonged period of time, as ambient dust, moisture, and smoke may enter the body and adversely affect the performance of the fog light.
