No tools are needed to replace any of the three headlight bulbs in a 07-12 Versa.

Pull Off Power Plug	Remove Rubber Dust Boot	Rubber Dust Cover Removed
The dual filament low and high beam bulb is located at the middle of the headlight assembly. Look behind the headlight in the engine bay and gently pull off the black plastic power connector from the low/high beam bulb. Then remove the black rubber dust boot that surrounds the headlight bulb and set it aside in a safe place.

Try to avoid touching the glass part of the new halogen bulb with your fingers or to anything greasy in the engine bay. If you do get the bulb dirty, wipe it clean with a paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol.
