automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the 1st generation (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010,
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015) Nissan Armada in changing a burnt out cargo
area light bulb by the tailgate door. Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Versa, Cube, Sentra, Altima, LEAF, Maxima, 370Z, Juke, Rogue, Murano, Xterra, Pathfinder, Quest, Frontier, Titan, QX56, Q50, G37, EX37, QX60, FX37, FX50 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement cargo area light bulb is part number DE3175 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA. The only tool needed to replace the cargo light bulb is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry out the plastic lens cover. |
