| This
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
passenger reading light in the rear overhead console. 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 rear passenger reading light bulb is part number 168 from manufacturers including Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA. You may also use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as the # 194, W5W, 2825 or a brighter LED unit. The only tool needed to replace the bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry out the round plastic lens cover. |

| Grasp the old bulb
with your thumb and forefinger before pulling it straight out of the socket. If you have trouble gripping the old bulb, try putting on a latex rubber glove. Push a new miniature wedge base bulb such as the # 168, 194, W5W, 2825 or an LED unit straight in to the socket. Test the new bulb by pressing the rectangular "On/Off" button next to the light housing. |
