 Open Mirror Cover - Vanity Light |
| 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 vanity mirror light
bulb in the sun visor. 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. The OEM vanity mirror light bulb was a 12V0.167A. A few compatible replacement "miniature fuse" type bulbs with their part numbers include the following: ACDelco 13502343, Eiko 40842 - 6614F, 6614F, TS-14V1CP, Bulbrite 756320 - 6614F and the Putco 230003 LED. The only tool needed to replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry out the translucent plastic lens cover. |

 Notch At Bottom Edge |
 Insert Flathead Screwdriver |
| Flip open the sun
visor's mirror cover to access the vanity light housing. To prevent from scratching the plastic surfaces, you may choose to cover the tip of your screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth. Insert the blade of the screwdriver in to the small notch on the bottom edge of the lens cover. |

 Pry Out Lens Cover |
 Gently Pry Out Old Bulb |
| Gently pry out the
lens cover and set it aside in a safe place.
Either pull out the old bulb with your fingers or very carefully pry it out at the bottom metal end cap with the screwdriver. |

 Empty Bulb Socket |
 Old Bulb Removed |
| Try to avoid applying pressure to the glass part of the old bulb to prevent from having it shatter and send glass shards in to your face or eyes. | |

Be careful when removing the old bulb. If it was
recently turned on, it might still be hot enough to burn your fingers.If you found this guide to be helpful,
