Replying to: jjmang (Mar 14, 2006 6:10 pm) Hey jjmang -   It's not that complicated! I know a much easier way to replace your lights without having to remove the bumper. First of all, when u say replace your low beams, do u mean your Xenon bulbs or regular halogen??   Tools needed: - Drill with phillips head screw or regular 4 edge screw driver (will take u longer) - flat edge screw driver - Mini rachet set just in case the screws are on too tight (screws are aslo rachet bolts)   Steps as follows: - turn steering wheel all the way in the direction of which bulb u r changing first (ie. left light assembly, turn steering wheel all the way left). - then jack up that side with your factory jack. - get under front fender and remove 5-6 screws/bolts that hold up only the front under-side wheel well covering. - remove 5 - 6 plastic rivets located around the plastice wheel well covering (4 around the wheel well lining and 2 attached to the frame) - (use flat edge to pop-up then pull out). - Pull down covering slightly and allow to rest on tires. - You will then have access to the back of the light assembly - Goodluck!   (If it's Xenon that you need to replace - i wouldn't mess with it - may need dealer assistance) Replies to this message: jjmang (Mar 16, 2006 4:35 am)

#22 of 40 Battery cover removal by bcool1 Mar 20, 2006 (7:37 pm)
Hi folks,   Anyone know how to remove the fixture that partially hides the battery? The "pop rivits" look like they will come out, but I don't want to test that theory and break them/the housing. Additionally, I found that the hatch lid was ajar only after it completely drained the battery (alarm light is off, no instrument lights, no power after a 15min jump, etc). Any info on what systems may have been compromised as a result? Thanks.

#24 of 40 Snow Tires? by teddykgb3737 Apr 18, 2006 (12:33 pm)
I am one of the few who plan to use my 350Z in the winter. Does anybody have good snow tires that they would recommend? Secondly, I have a Performance package 2003 350Z, and would really like to add something in the area where the navigation would go. Either an aftermarket navigation or DVD screen. Any suggestions?
