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)

Battery cover removal by bcool1

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.

Snow Tires? by teddykgb3737

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?

I USE MY 350 YEAR ROUND. I HAVE USED THE BLIZAKS FOR THE REAR TIRES ONLY FOR THE LAST THREE WINTERS AND THEY ARE GREAT. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AND GOES EVERYWHERE EVER TO VERMONT, SNOW STORMS NO PROBLEM. I ALSO USE THE NAVIGATION MAGELLAN 700. MOUNTS RIGHT TO THE FRONT WINDOW WITH SUCTION CUP. WORKS GREAT. PURCHASED IT FOR 1100 A YEAR AGO SAW IT IN THE PAPER FOR 700 THE OTHER DAY.

Engine paint by teddykgb3737

Has anyone painted their engine bay at all? I love the look of matching paint under the hood, any idea where to get said paint? I'm assuming any old paint won't do, with the added heat and all...

Has anyone put in a brushed aluminum or other silvery looking dash kit? Does it look good? Any recommended sources?
