 Pry Out At Notch |
| This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 &
2014) Nissan Murano SUV in changing a burnt out cargo area light
bulb in the tailgate door or upgrading them both to brighter LED
units. Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Versa, Maxima, Juke, Rogue, Altima, Xterra, Pathfinder, Sentra, Cube, Armada, Leaf, Quest, Frontier, Teana, 370Z, GT-R, Titan, G25, G37, M35, QX56, QX60 and M37 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement cargo area light bulb is part number DE3175 which is available from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA. You may also be able to use the # DE3022 (29mm), 6418 (35mm), 6411 (41mm) or an LED bulb. The only tool needed to replace the bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry out the light housing. |
