Highly recommend using big zip ties to hold the grill on. Cheap and easy to route. If you need to take it off a pair of angle cutters and it pulls right off.
Nicely done, Aaron! Also, remind them not to touch the bulbs for safety. Good reminder that grommets and clips are brittle that's why you have to be careful in removing them.
Excellent video and fantastic information about the grille clips. I'm going to order them before I start swapping out my Titan's headlight assembly. Thanks for the information - a real time saver!
Seriously? I damn near bent my fender because you makes no mention of the 10 mm bolt that attaches the fender to the side of the headlight mount. There is a total of four screws holding the headlight in, not 3, and the one attaching to the fender is a complete PITA to get to.
2 years later and still no effort to update the video. He's just collecting money from people watching it while we're losing money due to damage not knowing there was a 4th bolt.
Nice video Aaron, Fairly disappointed learning about those push pins which attach the trim to headlight. Called Nissan where they told me the pins are sold only with the trim. So to add salt to the wound, the trim will need to be painted to match the trucks color. WTFFFFrek is that all about! Anyone out there with better luck than me, let me know.
yikes! ya seems to be that way, i have seen used pieces sell on eBay. here are some new pieces on amazon. www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=nissan+titan+headlight+trim&rh=n%3A15684181%2Ck%3Anissan+titan+headlight+trim
You didn't show the part I needed, removing the plastic clip from the grill to the headlight assembly. For anyone who wants to know, you reach in with a screwdriver and pry towards the outside of the vehicle to remove them.
It's much easier to remove the wheel well cover by the wheel and access the light from the wheel well; then you don't need to remove the grill and light unit.
The instructions are a bit unclear on the trim below the Headlights. Do you pull towards you then to the left(passenger) and right(driver) or just to the sides?? Please reply. Im working on a similar project and thanks in advance.
Great video, but I would add one thing that I ran into. When attempting to remove the bottom body colored trim piece on the headlight assembly, be very careful. I have a 2006 Titan, and when I went to remove this piece to attach to the new headlight assembly, it had become extremely brittle. The slightest pressure to remove it will make the connection points completely break apart. My Wife suggested I use a little WD-40. That did do the trick, but I am still going to need to order these two pieces immediately. I pay for a pass at the local car wash, and I am worried that the pressure from the water or air dryer may blow these pieces clean off. So BEWARE. I removed my first piece like he did in this video, but the second piece, I removed as a whole piece without sliding it off the clips first. I used a "L" shaped pick, and a thin flat head screwdriver. It is too hard to explain how to do it, but it did come off in about the same amount of time without as much damage.
The bottom pins are super hard to get to so i did those off camera, ima show you how to remove this top screw where its very easy. I needed the bottom more than the top.
👎I thought my headlight was just getting hung up on something when I was attempting to remove it because I was certain I did everything correctly, but you didn't mention anything about the 10mm 4th bolt securing the headlight to the fender. Thanks for helping me break more stuff on my truck. ....and I see I'm not the only one who's mentioned this in the comments yet you have made no effort to update the video. It really sucks that you're making money off this. You can bet I'll never watch another one of your videos again.
The reason your bottom Clips were broken off is because they're nearly impossible to get to. I had to use a plastic crowbar and pry the grill up as far as possible and then I could just barely get to them.
i ended up swapping in led bulbs, they are super bright. i went with morimoto brand. they are a little expensive but they are quality www.amazon.com/Morimoto-9006-2Stroke-Set-Bulb/dp/B06Y63T8XZ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537759109&sr=8-1&keywords=morimoto+led+9006
This is by far one of the worst videos I have seen from you. Hate to break it to you, but watching this video before taking on this task does not make it any easier. You have to struggle with the wiring harness, and the bolts holding it in place and you entirely miss one of the bolts, a 10mm on the side holding it to the bumper. The part you have in the description is NOT IDENTICAL. it does fit but it takes a fair amount of struggle to make the trim clips, speed nuts, and bulbs fit snugly. Your tutorial while not completely garbage misses several of the most important steps for this project, i had a lot more respect for you before I did this project I really wish this video had prepared me more. Thanks but no thanks
The process of pulling out a headlight on these trucks are effing ridiculous. When this truck runs its last mile, I'm going right back to being a Ford owner.

You sir, saved me about an hour trying to put them dumb af square tabs in lmao
@@EddiieeG10 excellent! There was a spell where my grill was coming off every month and zip ties saved my sanity.
Thanks! Great idea buddy
Guessing that you forgot the 10mm that the headlight bolts to the fender.
Just broke my bottom trim piece following your vid. 2007 titan.
Same here......and he's making money with this crop. SMDH
Exactly what I was looking for. EXACTLY. Great job.
Nicely done, Aaron! Also, remind them not to touch the bulbs for safety. Good reminder that grommets and clips are brittle that's why you have to be careful in removing them.
very good pointers, and thank you for the support as always!
Thanks, Aaron! Keep on doing awesome DIY videos.

Very good video I want to see more like fixing the front sonar sensor in a Nissan Armada

Thanks for the quick video fast and simple explanation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm gonna go this route to replace the bulbs. It looks much easier than removing them out the back of the lite.

Are you referring to the trim piece below the headlight?
Aaron Hines It''s the clip on the top medial part of the headlight assembly which is located just below the outside top grill clip
Good Job on this
Great work and very helpful “ thank you 👍
Why do the headlight fog up so bad. Do the new headlights not fog up as much? Are the replacement headlights brighter?
Bravo
It's much easier to remove the wheel well cover by the wheel and access the light from the wheel well; then you don't need to remove the grill and light unit.
I removed the wheel well and replace bulbs ,easy ,I took me about 20 minutes each side
Thanks a lot
It helped me a lot
Just saved my life I have to do this tomorrow and didn't know ware to even start👍👍👍👏👏👏
To replace what? You still need to remove the grill to get to that front bolt to replace a headlight right?
@@RUZTY1311 No, you do not need to remove the front grill to replace the headlight bulb. You can access it from behind via the wheel well.
@@joehueffed490 Thats not what this video is about though lol Its about removing a headlight....not replacing a bulb

Haha that piece came off on me as well. Lol of course it happened when I hit a deer though lol
Great vid

yes they are very difficult, doesnt help the are made out of cheap plastic either!
Aaron Hines Total PITA. Took me 2 hours! But I didn't break anything but a bumper filler clip below the headlight.
this video is not showing how to turn loose the botton part of the grill
Where do you get headlights like the thumbnail??
I meant the ones on the intro and the outro

The process of pulling out a headlight on these trucks are effing ridiculous. When this truck runs its last mile, I'm going right back to being a Ford owner.
With a Ford you have to worry about how many Spark Plugs it will spit out and you will lose before your next fill up..
When your ford is shaking and not even the mechanics can figuere out why, you'll wish you would just stick the Titan.
