The illustration identifies the primary exterior and interior light locations on the Nissan Murano. Some lighting components or their exact arrangement may vary depending on the vehicle's equipment, so confirm that the replacement part is intended for the specific lamp being serviced.

Headlights

Temporary fogging may appear inside the lenses of the exterior lights during rainy weather, after driving through a humid area, or while the Nissan Murano is being washed. This condition is caused by a temperature difference between the inside and outside surfaces of the lens, allowing a light film of condensation to develop. Minor fogging that clears naturally is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

If large water droplets collect inside a lens, water remains trapped in the light assembly, or the condensation does not disappear, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for inspection and service. Persistent moisture may require the lamp assembly and its sealing areas to be examined by a qualified technician.

If a headlight or related lighting component requires replacement, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. Proper installation helps ensure that the light assembly is securely fitted and functions as intended.

Exterior and interior lights

Basic information

This vehicle is equipped with LED lights in multiple exterior and interior lighting locations. LED units are designed differently from conventional replaceable bulbs, and some are integrated into complete lamp assemblies rather than serviced as individual light sources.

Visit your NISSAN dealer for LED light replacement, confirmation of the correct replacement bulb type, or any bulb-changing procedure that is not listed in this section. Using the correct component is important because bulb design, electrical rating, socket configuration, and lamp construction may differ between lighting positions on the Nissan Murano.

  • Vanity mirror lights*
    • Wattage (W): 5
    • Bulb No.: W5W

* It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for assistance with replacement. The dealer can confirm the correct bulb and perform the procedure without damaging the lens, trim, or surrounding components.

Always check with the Parts Department at a NISSAN dealer for the latest parts information before purchasing a replacement bulb or lamp component. Parts specifications and availability may vary, and confirming the correct application helps prevent installation of an incompatible bulb.

Replacement procedures

All other replaceable lights are identified as type A, B, C, or D, as shown in the illustration. The bulb type determines the correct removal and installation method, so compare the replacement bulb with the applicable diagram before beginning the procedure.

When replacing a bulb, first remove the applicable lens, lamp, and/or cover. Handle these components carefully to avoid cracking the lens, damaging retaining tabs, or marking nearby trim. Note the original position of the bulb and socket so the replacement can be installed in the same orientation.

Arrow symbol showing the direction for light bulb removal Indicates bulb removal. Follow the illustrated direction when releasing or turning the bulb so that the socket and retaining components are not forced.

Arrow symbol showing the direction for light bulb installation Indicates bulb installation. Insert and secure the replacement bulb in the illustrated direction, making sure it is correctly seated before reinstalling the lens, lamp, or cover.
