I've never had to change my headlight bulb, had a brief look yesterday and could see how to get to it!! :confused:
I can see you undo the cap, and then push the two side together to remove the 'shoe', but then can't see how you get to the bulb?
Thanks

All you need to do is push the bulb in and twist it one way or the other and it will come out..........:D

So if I just push the bulb inwards and then twist it should come out?
Great, it looked far more complex than that!

are you talkiing removing the bulb socket from the headlight assembly or removing the bulb from the socket.....Either way it's pretty straight foward.....To remove the socket from the headlight assembly just loosen the clips and twist...it should just pop right out, then follow my advice from my first post to remove the bulb...also try not to touch the galss part of your new bulb with your fingers, as oil from your skin could damage the glass, not to say that it will but a good rule of thumb to follow..........

Don't uk nx's have different headlights then usdm nx's?
i was aslo under the impression that they are H-4's.
if so aren't H-4's held in by some wire clip or something?
i could be way off but i'm not sure its just twist like the 9004s.

I dont think they are different, well removing the bulbs anyway?
Ive got JDM headlights (look the same as uk) and you remove them the same way as was said, unscrew the cap, remove the shoe(?, its a wire harness thingo), then twist the bulb and pull it out.
EDIT: It should be in your owners manual anyway...

I will do mine in two hours so I'll let you know what I find!
We use H4 that is correct, but they just plug in!!
