2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016) Nissan
Frontier pickup truck in changing a burnt out dome light bulb in the
headliner. Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Navara, Versa, Maxima, Juke, Rogue, Altima, Xterra, Pathfinder, Murano, Cube, Armada, Leaf, Quest, Sentra, Teana, 370Z, GT-R, Titan, G25, G37, M35, QX56, QX60 and M37 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement festoon or "fuse" style bulb is part number DE3175 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, PIAA and Eiko. You can also use a brighter DE3175 LED bulb. The only tool needed to access and replace is a small flathead screwdriver or a small plastic pry bar tool. |

prevent from scratching the plastic surfaces, cover the tip of your
screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth or you can use a small plastic
automotive panel pry bar tool. Insert the blade of the small flathead screwdriver in to the notch near the front edge of the lens cover close to the switch. Gently pry out the lens cover and set it aside in a safe place. Pull back one of the metal electrical contacts to release the old bulb from the socket. |
