Problem overview

Some INFINITI Q45 owners report experiencing challenges when replacing the driver's side headlamp, particularly related to accessing components due to wheel side connection issues. These difficulties can arise if the battery is not disconnected for safety, leading to potential hazards during the replacement process. Additionally, owners may struggle with removing clips from the plastic cover and bolts connecting to the bumper, which are necessary for gaining access to the headlamp assembly. Some also find it challenging to reach the bolts inside the bumper near the fender wells. If these access issues persist, it is advisable to seek assistance from a professional mechanic to ensure the headlamp replacement is completed correctly and safely.
