courtesy reading light bulb in a 4th generation 2013-2016 Nissan Pathfinder.
2016 Pathfinder Reading Light |
Insert Flathead Screwdriver |
This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the fourth generation (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and maybe
also the revised 2017 model year) Nissan Pathfinder SUV in
changing a burnt out rear passenger courtesy personal reading light
bulb located in the headliner housings near the grab handles. Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Versa, Maxima, Juke, Rogue, Altima, Xterra, Sentra, Murano, 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 bulbs are Toshiba "12V8W U57". A few compatible replacement miniature wedge base bulbs with their part numbers include the following: 2825, 168, 194, W5W or a brighter LED unit. The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulb is a small flathead screwdriver. |
