Pro-4X Off Road Lights Bulb Replacement

Xebra

First Fill-Up (of many)
I ran into an interesting dilemma this afternoon while attempting to replace my off road roof light bulbs.


Here is what I found:
The owners manual states that the Off Road lamps are 9006 (HB4).

I did find numerous posts in a forum with the same information so I bought 9006 (HB4) replacement bulbs.

I took everything apart to swap the bulbs and I find that they are instead 9005 bulbs.

The 9006 looks to be wider in diameter where the rubber seals it from the elements so it wouldn't fit into the hole.

I didn't feel like messing with it so I put the stock bulbs back in for now and re-attached everything to the roof. Then I went to test the lamps to make sure they work, but they won't turn on. I know that they wont turn on if the covers are on (I have them off) so I put the plastic covers back on, turn on the high beams, take the covers back off, activate the Off Road lamp switch and they turn on. It seems that putting the covers back on resets them.

SO....get yourself some 9005's. Install them. Put the plastic covers back on. Turn on your high beams. Take the plastic covers off. Activate your OR lamps. Good-to-go!

Hi, I was wondering if you could detail how you removed the housing to change the bulb in the off road lights? My lenses aren't aligned in the housing and it looks like I have to pull down the headliner to remove the housing to adjust the lights. Is that what you did? There is very little information on how to change the bulbs anywhere (that includes the manual, the internet, Nissan dealerships and Nissan corporate). You seem to be the only person I can find that has done it.

You don't have to remove the headliner. In fact you don't have to do anything inside the vehicle. You'll need the Torx wrench that was supplied wit hthe vehicle (in the area where the jack is stored under the back seat) and use that to remove the roof basket from the rack. If you still can't get to the bulbs, the entire air dam comes off (4 bolts on the leading edge that attach directly to the roof, and I think 1 each on either side at the back part where it attaches to the roof rack). Once the basket is out of the way, you'll see all the bolts and how the air dam with the lights comes off the vehicle.

I love how the manual says that "The bulb is not serviceable in-vehicle. See NISSAN dealer for assistance." lol

If you pop off the light covers, there will be a hole with an adjustment screw that will allow you to adjust the lights.

Everything I did was on the roof. Don't pull out your interior! There are a few Allen wrench bolts on the front of the air dam (4 if I remember) and the cover comes off. Nothing extreme. Very simple.

Good to know that it take 9005. Few question though guys. Does all the fog and off road lights turn on at the same time or can I just run the for lights without having the off road lights above on? Also , Can I get to the bottom bulb on the front bumper by taking the whole headlights assembly and it seems itll give me room to reach down

Got it figured out guys. Easy install. I recommend auxito 20,000LM on the fog and off road,they are bright. According to Auxito these are made by PIAA. I ordered a 20,000LM 9007 head lights and well see how bright they really areIMG_0166.JPG IMG_0165.JPG
