| This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the third generation (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and probably
also the refreshed 2019 & 2020 model years) Nissan Murano SUV in
changing a burnt out fog light bulb in the front bumper cover. Owners of other Nissan and Infiniti vehicles such as the Rogue, Pathfinder, Armada, Versa, Sentra, Altima, Maxima, Leaf, 370Z, GT-R, Frontier, Titan, NV200, Q50, Q70, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX60, QX70 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement halogen fog light bulb part number is H11. If you would like to have brighter fog lights, install some compatible H11 LED bulbs. The tools needed to access and replace the bulbs include a small flathead screwdriver and a plastic pry bar tool. |

 Pry Out Center of Fastener |
 Pull Out Base of Fastener |
 Pop Rivet Under Bumper |
| The first step is
to turn the steering wheel all the way in the opposite direction of the
burnt out fog light bulb. This will give you more room to access the wheel well liner by the front tire. There is a black plastic pop rivet friction fastener at the bottom of the wheel well liner or "splash guard" and also another one on the underside of the front bumper cover. Pry out the smaller center piece of the pop rivet to unlock it. Then pry out the base of the fastener from the wheel well liner. Set it aside in a safe place. Look under the front bumper cover and locate the larger pop rivet fastener that secures the bottom of the wheel well liner in place. Pry out the center of the fastener with the plastic pry bar tool and then remove the base of the fastener. |

 Install New Fog Bulb |
| The OEM light bulb
was an Osram H11 12V 55W which is the same as the
Sylvania H11. Avoid touching the glass part of the new halogen bulb with your fingers or anything greasy in the engine bay. Insert the new H11 bulb into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it into place. If you would like to have brighter fog lights, install some compatible replacement H11 LED bulbs. |
