Fog bulbs replacement – how to do it
Finally I did it. But before I show how to do it a word to Nissan Engineers/designers. All my professional life I preached “maintainability”. I guess Nissan engineers do not know this word. They should all be sent to a garage, given 100 Muranos with a simple task: replace fog bulbs! Maybe they would learn something.
Anyway, I have finally found time and installed the Hoen xenonmatch as a replacement for the OEM’s fog bulbs. Now how to do it – I have the service manual (only 4,500 pages or so) and there is just one sentence on how to do it. Very vague to say the least. But thanks to the tips from this board I have managed to do it (thanks esemes!). I did take the wheels off as it gave me much better access. Still it was kind of an awkward job. But the results were worth it.
I have attached a number of photos on showing the progress of work as well as “before” and “after” results. The photos do not do the full justice; in reality the match is better.
