That's correct. I fount out it too 2 days ago at my girl's rogue.

Probably not. To make sure remove the cover and take a look what bulb is in there. My guess it's the same bulb as in 08-13 Rogue which is DE3175 31mm.

I popped it out and measured it with my digital calipers. It came out to 30.6mm, so you are probably right on the money.

Edit: Be really careful if you have this setup. My bulb popped up into the ceiling, rolled away, and now it's gone forever. No way to remove that plastic thing either. Really stupid design Nissan.

The moonroof equipped vehicles have 2 interior lights that take #168 lamps.

How come most of your light is projected on the ground in front of you?

At Ferrisfan's recommendation, I purchased this bulb for my cargo area: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NO ... UTF8&psc=1 I also purchased the same bulb for my dome light (on the non-moonroof Rogue, this bulb basically the same size as the stock bulb there). Made a noticeably positive difference in lighting. And they do sorta fade on and off when you lock/unlock the car like the stock bulb did, but not as noticeably. If someone wants to upgrade their interior lighting on the cheap, that's the bulb I'd go for.

Its the camera. You can see the light at the curb too
The camera adjust to the bright spot closest to the car, so all the light behind is "gone"

Hi all,
Would it be possible if someone volunteers and list the bulb sizes for reverse, parking, high and low headlights, fog lights and also list the LED replacement bulb/kit for each? A link where to purchase and some photos will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I have a set of oem led headlights at home. I modified the harness to try with power supply for 12V+ and it works but there's a lot more involved in order to keep it working in the same condition. I think I'll go with plug-n-play led bulbs but I would like to have the same brightness as hid. Hard for me to choose at this point. V-LEDS is about to start selling 3000lm with 2 leds/bulb (1 on each side) for equal light output at the headlight. Lifetime leds offer 3200lm but with 1 led. Anyone found led bulb for H9(High Beam) yet?

I just installed the H11 F LED Fog Lights (5000K) on my 2014 Rogue to replace the stock fog light bulbs, so far, so good, they look good, match the color of the stock LEDs Headlights pretty good and look like they are very well made.

Hi,

As anyone used the AMBER AMBER V3 TRITON LED SYSTEM (Part ID: V3_AA-Crom) from http://www.vleds.com for the Front Amber Turn Signals in the 2014 Rogue?

Just got mine delivered and they look like they are going to be tight to install.

Do they actually add more light in bad weather conditions? $150 is more than I want to spend for cosmetic lighting.

I think they do "fill in" the Light Pattern nicely and are worth it.

I ordered my Rogue with OEM LED Headlights and am totally impressed, I will never go back to Halogen or HID, the LED's are awesome and the addition of the LED Fogs just makes it that much better.

Good Luck with your decision.

The 2014 Rogue is different than the 2008-2013 Rogues and 2014 Rogue select. They used the wrong rogue in their advertisement picture on eBay. If you look at the pictures in that listing, the interior is totally different. If you have a 2014 rogue, those bulbs probably won't fit. The map lights in the 2014 rogue look a lot different and are already LEDs.

Like what tsumeone said, the maps is a lot different and already LEDs in the '14 Rogue. It just looks warmer. I've already tried to disassemble the map light to see if I could replace it but the LEDs are actually permanently mounted on a circuit board. If you know how to solder you could possibly change it.

Crap. Well I take the most issue with the poor trunk lighting.

So I'll be trying to change out the dome light on the 2nd row and the trunk light.

Thanks for the answers!

Has anyone upgraded the rear red sidemarkers with the 194 RED 6 LED HIGH POWER 360°LEDs from www.VLEDS.com

I was upgrading the Turn Signals, Brake Lights, and Licence Plate Lights and wondered if I should do these at the same time because they are right there.

Thanks

I tried ones from dome light and they were too big. Do you really think they would make a difference? Pointless in my opinion.

I just installed a small LED board into my cargo light. They are so bright!! But, I am having this issue as well. When I close the hatch, the LED stays on extremely dimly. It stays on for at least 2-3 minutes before turning off.

Also, I somehow managed to knock that gray plastic cover that snaps onto the clear lense off and it feel inside, behind the trunk wall. Does anybody know the best way I can retrieve it?

I'm also interested in this? Not crazy about the regular fog lights specially since I have the OEM Led low beams. Also what exactly are the parking lights(side markets) in the rear?

Pop the plastic trim on fender. Remove the screw. Pull the bumper and you'll have an access to the the bulb. Just did mine 3 days ago for vled 3000 lumens.

NICE! the dimmer foglight on the left, is that stock foglights? Also can you post which VLED you purchased?

Also I saw on this thread you bought headlights as well, can you post a link to those as well? Much appreciated! I feel the stock bulbs don't show much light as there were numerous times I had to check myself to make sure the headlights were on :wtf2:

Hi all,

I had swapped out my OEM Halogen Fog Light Bulbs with Lifetime H11F LED Fog Lights in the summer.

Now that it is raining they are leaking so badly - standing water in the housings - that I took the my Rogue to a Auto Body Repair Shop to have the Fog Light Assemblies removed and dried and the bulbs re-installed (In case I had installed them in-correctly in the first place).

Well, it turns out the Lifetime LEDs do not fit tightly into the Fog Light Assembly and that is why they were leaking, so the OEM Halogen Bulbs have been re-installed.

It could be something as simple has the wrong rubber gasket - don't know yet - but I have a call into Lifetime to see what is going on.

I am wondering if anyone else has had moisture problems with Lifetime or VLEDS Led upgrades for the fog lights?

Thanks

Yes.

http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbers/h11-vx3.html6,000K bluish is the one I installed (I still think it's kinda white)
http://www.vleds.com/h11-mtg2-3000lm.html and here's the 5,000K if you want pure white.

I don't have a problem with v-leds bulbs but you shouldn't have any problems with other brands either. I think you got defective set. If I was you I would give them another chance. Return and get a brand new set but if second set is leaking as well then return them. Also the socket is H11 and I have no idea what is the difference to H11-F so that might be the case.
