Do I need to transfer the bulb from my original headlight?

Yes. This assembly ships as a housing only — you'll remove and reinstall your existing halogen bulb from the old unit. The connector is factory-standard, so it plugs straight in.

Will this bolt up to my car without drilling or modification?

Designed for factory mounting points, so no cutting or fabrication needed. Line it up with the existing holes and fastener locations on your Maxima and you're good.

What if the lens is cloudy or I need to repaint it?

The assembly comes ready to install. If you want to restore clarity on a used lens or match body color, handle that before installation — once mounted, access is limited.
