50k miles, 4 1/2 years and the first thing has failed on our Coupe :frown:.

Can anyone tell me how to replace the lamp in the overhead push on/off interior light?

It's just been one thing after another...and all of them great :bigthumb: .

Best wishes.

Finally made some time to look at the lamp and found that a gentle pull on the forward edge will drop the entire assembly out. While I was puzzling over how to get the lamp out, I flicked a small tab and whe it snapped back, the lamp came on :-).

Looks like I was wrong. 52k miles and nothing has failed.

Oops, just remembered. The driver door limit strap, which sounded funky from day one, had to be replaced a few years back.

You go, Nissan!

Best wishes
