Front end replacement help needed

Postby 05niss » Tue Jul 05, 2016 4:26 pm

Hello, I just bought a 05 pathfinder which I knew had some body issues. What I found when I took off the front grill headlights and bumper was a little more surprising. It was hit in the front passenger corner and did a little damage to the inner body panels but nothing serious and the frame was untouched. The bumper and headlights were mounted in with drywall screws which I do not believe was a factory option.

My issue is o cannot find anything that shows the headlight assembly and the brackets that should be there. I was able to go to a Nissan parts dealer and locate a drawing of the core support and it showed one bracket which o purchased from them but nothing as a complete detailed image showing parts and numbers. Can anyone direct me where to find this at?
Thanks
Jim

I've had some success looking at the part diagrams at nissanpartsdeal.com. If I'm reading you right, this might be what you're hunting... http://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/Page_Pro ... &PNC=62561

If not, try noodling around on their site a bit to see if one of the diagrams might help. Did you look at a factory service manual too?

Hey thanks that helps a ton. I found out the replacement bracket I thought I needed was a bent part installed by the drywall screw guy.

I thought about posting up a few pics of what I found but it was such a mess I just wanted to fix it and put it behind me.
