How to change the bulb in the glove box of the Nissan Qashqai J11 without having to disassemble it

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we will see how to change the lamp inside the glove compartment of the Nissan Qashqai J11: the original one provided by the manufacturer is a halogen lamp with a small yellow light that doesn't illuminate the inside of the drawer. We start by removing the side panel of the dashboard to see if we can change the lamp without disassembling the entire compartment. From here, we see the connector of the dome light, which we can remove by pushing it from inside the drawer itself: we will then remove it by reaching inside the dashboard. We remove the lamp from the dome light and replace it with an LED one, checking its operation by turning on the car's dashboard (before putting everything back in place). After the check, we put the dome light back in from the dashboard, put the side panel back in place, and wait for nightfall to appreciate the difference.
