    Thank you for the best tutorial on how to change both bulbs on the JX35/QX60. The passenger side was the most difficult for me because of the limited space and view. I dropped the bulb inside the passenger headlight housing and was having the hardest time getting it out until I thought of using my telescopic magnetic stick. Thankfully it's got some metal and it stuck to the tip of the magnet and saved me from having to remove the entire headlight to get it out. Other than that, this is a 30 min job if you don't drop anything like I did.

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  6 месяцев назад +1

      No problem at all! I agree with the passenger side...Definitely trickier to work on. I hate when something small happens and ruins an easy job...happens to all of us. Good thing that magnet came in handy! Thanks for watching!

    This video is great for OEM replacement. However, I'm dealing with an issue where somone already put in a LED bulb that has now burnt out. The issue is, they cut the connecting cables so short I can literally barely touch them nevermind actually connect the wires to the new bulb... Any ideas what to do? This is the driver's side and I'm abotu to lose my mond... Take off the whole bumper???

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  Год назад

      You may have to take apart the whole front end and either rewire it or get a whole new wiring harness. Hopefully they didn't damage anything else while they did this.
      This is so frustrating. I don't mind mods at all, but stuff like this creates so much unnecessary frustration

    Yeah, pretty good video, all in all. I replaced the passenger side HID bulb after watching this video. However, the passenger side was a bit of a nightmare due to convoluted access, for either right or left hands. My hands and wrists are thin, but it was still very difficult to reach and remove the dust shield, unclip the old bulb, slide new bulb in, line up the notch, re-clip, and attach the power socket. None of this is fault of the video, of course. Still, I saved a good $150 by not having my good buddy/shade tree mechanic do the work. Also, 2 bulbs cost me only $50, hope they last a while. Note: earlier in the year I took my JX35 to the dealer for a driver side headlamp replacement... Get this: They replaced the bulb (still not working), ran a test on the ballast (said ballast was good) and finally said the whole headlamp assembly needed to be replaced. 'Cause that's how they do it - replace the whole headlamp/turn signal assembly unit. $1500 parts plus $250 labor. This after replacing the bulb $50/$150 labor. I declined and took the vehicle to my good buddy who investigated and said the power plug was not connected. He connected it and it worked. Watch out for those dealers, folks!

    Great video. Replaced my passenger side headlight. Very tight quarters. Unfastened the wheel well cover and was able to use my left hand from that access point while my right hand accessed from the top (to left of wiper fluid). (You can't see anything when you do this - so I just used the Force to see it in my mind like Luke training with Obi Wan). Remove the plug from the bulb before you "unclip" the bulb. We mistakenly unclipped the old bulb first and it came out with the plug - but couldn't get the old bulb off. Reinstalled, reclipped and then unplugged leaving the old bulb installed. Then unclipped and removed the old bulb.

    I'm interested in improving the power of the rear lights. Have attempted a re and re of bulbs in rear lights of 2022 QX60. Is it even possible to change bulbs? It appears to be sealed units. Thx

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  Год назад

      Officially, there isn't a way to swap between the first gen and second gen QX60s. There isn't even a way to transfer between the original QX60 and the mid model refresh. you are right that they are sealed units, with individual LEDs. The only way I can imagine changing the power of the rear lights is to either have custom ones made, or have them open and have the LEDs changed to larger, more powerful ones. Since I never opened the units, I'm not sure how intensive that is, but I imagine a fair bit of soldering would be required.

    Your videos are super helpful thanks -- any chance you have instructions on how to open the engine fusebox if changing the bulb fails (problem could be the ballast or the fuse). Have some recently found some humidity inside the light housing and started having issues with bulb/

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  Год назад

      Thanks, much appreciated. If you need to access the fuse box (on the left side, called an IPDM by Infiniti), it pulls right out. It looks like a box that's fixed in. But if you release the clips around (3 or 4, if I remember correctly) and gently lift it out, and carefully turn it over, you'll see the fuses on the underside. It's a stupid design to be honest, one of the very few things I don't like with this vehicle. Hope that helps a bit

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  11 месяцев назад

      Sorry, just want to be sure here. Are you asking about the FX35, or QX60?
      If the QX60, the fuse box is located under that box. You have to remove the latched all around and lift it (carefully) out. The fuses are underneath. A very annoying design!

    is there a reason why after swapping out my HID bulb, the new bulb blinks out like the one I just swapped out was doing. so now I think that the bulb was not bad, but something else, any tips?

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  Год назад

      Hmmm. I would start off by swapping your left and right bulbs. If the one that was blinking still blinks on the other side, then it may be a lemon bulb you got. But if the same side still blinks, then you know for sure it's not the bulb. At that point, the number one thing I would look at is the ballast. The connector that the bulb hooks up to could have an issue too. I would look at those 2 things

    Ok I have a bulb out on our 2017 QX60 right side and I ordered the bulb but is not the bulb test the new and old bulb in the working side! Could it be the ballast? and help will be appreciate it thank you!

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  2 года назад

      It can definitely be the ballast, but there are other things too, everything from a wiring issue to a bad/corroded connector. There first thing would say to check before anything else is the headlight fuse. There is a separate one for each headlight. The fuse box is under the hood. If the fuse looks good, if you are good with a multimeter, I would say to check the circuit bit by bit, starting with the connector. Ballasts can go for sure, but I have seen a lot more bad connectors vs bad ballasts, and it would suck to replace the ballast and still be in the same spot.

    Thanks for the video! I did my wife's QX60 but instead of going through the top, I went through the wheel well. There are three screws on the outside (they suck by the way as they appeared to be self-tapping so they did not go back in as easily but I managed) that I took off and then pulled back the rubber well liner. From there, his instructions were very helpful and yes, the dust cap was the hardest part. Agree with the other folks that it was much easier than I expected and saved me so money!

      That is a very good question, and one i'm unsure about about. I believe it may work, but i've never tried. However, I would advise against trying it. The HID bulbs are very sensitive, and get hot quickly. The light isn't good for the retinas either. One mistake or accidental drop, not only could it break, it can actually explode. Be cautious for sure.

    Great video as always brother, how is it possible your headlights look that clear? Amazing! Ive sanded and polished mines, they look good but as good as yours. Whats the trick? Im also thinking to replace mines with D2S HID 6000K, what are the specs on yours?

      Believe it or not, I haven't done anything to the headlights yet, at all. They are still clear and haven't restored them. I will say, since filming this video, the headlights have hated a bit, so I'll have to restore them soon.

    • @NexusAuto
      @NexusAuto  2 года назад +2

      Hi Marie. There can be a few causes. First and foremost, I would say to check the fuse. There is a fuse for each headlight individually, so check that first (if you haven't already). After that, there really is 4 other things that could be an issue, ultimately
      1. The ballast for the HID lights
      2. Some wiring has gone bad/been damaged/got chewed/became corroded.
      3. The wiring harness that connects to the bulb is bad/burnt/corroded
      4. the computer for the car has an issue (although this one is HIGHLY unlikely)
      There is also the possibility that the new bulb is bad. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. If you have the time, you could swap the bulbs on the left and right side and see what happens. Always good to double check to be sure. Hope this helps

      Hello, and thank you for checking out my videos. Glad they are proving helpful.
      I have not done the headlights yet for the same issue... you cannot just put any old LED on here, due to the ballasts for the HID. There are bulbs out there, but did not actively look yet. Additionally, even if you find an HID compatible one, does not mean it will project well in the housing.
      The good news is that I plan to tackle exactly this in the future, but it is not the next video I will be making in the next bit. Hopefully I can get to it soon.

I do it without disconnecting the battery, but I take that personal risk. 99 out of 100, everything will be fine. But that 1 time is the worry. Especially when working with electrical ballasts (that power the HID). You don't want a shock from one of those.

      Hi Taresa. This is an excellent question.
      First, to be honest, I have not used the bulb. I made this video to help people out, but my bulb has not blown (yet). I am still using my original bulbs as of now. So I have not tried the bulbs as of now.
      When I selected this bulb, I researched many to find one compatible. With the link I attached, I checked the questions and found answers indicating it works for both QX56 and QX60 models (JX35 included). They all use the same ballasts.
      Based on this information from the seller, I believe it will work. But I have not tested the bulbs for quality, lighting quality, and longevity. I list the bulbs as a helpful link.
      I hope this helps. I know it may not be the best answer, nor is it completely reassuring, but that is the honest answer.
