The contact owns a 2000 Maxima gle that experienced a failure on the right passenger side headlight. The contact purchased a new bulb for the light. Upon installation of the new light bulb it was discovered that the bulbs plug was fused and burned in that particular headlight. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who noted the bulb could not be replaced because the bulb were connected to an electrical wiring harness that was connected to lighting within the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer has not been contacted at this point. Updated 11/29/2005. The consumer is concerned that this is a potential fire/safety hazard.
