Introduction
This guide will show you how to replace the map lights of your sixth generation Nissan Sentra (years 2007-2012). Since each car has its own unique features, and while there are guides to fix others, this guide allows Nissan Sentra car owners to replace their car map lights without the risk of damaging the car parts or their vehicle.
When performing this guide ensure that you are in a very well lit area to aid with visibility. Before you begin, make sure the car is off and in park.
If you suspect that your map lights are out, turn them on and off a few times prior to the replacement, however, if you turned your map lights on to test them prior to beginning this guide, wait a few minutes before following the steps presented before you. This ensures that the bulb is cold, which prevents any burns or injuries.
