Where to find replacement Cluster LED Sockets??

[indaoceanalldatime]

So I recently attempted the gauge Cluster LED switch and broke one of the factory light sockets. I didn't realize how fragile they were.

Anyone have ANY idea where I could find some cheap replacements? I called the Nissan dealer in my area and the guy quoted me $26 a piece!

Btw, I've been lurking on the forums for awhile. Really appreciate the work you guys have been putting out. Thanks for any kinda help with this.

well i went to my nissan dealership kuz i too broke one of my bases. they quoted me 12$ for one, (the black bases), and quoted me 32$ for the brown bases. the 12$ one i ordered didnt fit even tho the part number was all they had to offer, and i cudnt return it, so instead of possibly wasting another 32$i just took the middle brown bulb out, (its the high beam indicator) and used that one. i never use my high beams anyway and if i do i know it so it didnt bother me. if this thread gets anyone elses attention i know some ppl have bases that they may send you.

IF your talking about the small tiny base that goes on the Leds or got pigtail socket check below link

It's only 29cents for piece base and 3bucks for the pigtail socket.

that's still a good price. to the OP, do you need the base or the socket? i'm thinking you need the socket.

i just took the middle brown bulb out, (its the high beam indicator) and used that one.

I need the black base (Odometer), so I don't know if I could use the brown high beam base. Good idea though.

How many do you need?

Just one black base. I tried replacing the odometer cluster first and broke one of the tiny little metal clips trying to get the bulb out. I haven't tried taking any other bases out yet (I intend to take out the two main cluster lamps), but I doubt I'll break another. Knock on wood.

In the tutorial, it says that it is necessary to keep the factory sockets because aftermarket probably won't fit.

Aftermarket based worked for me

Aftermarket bases do work for some years, while it doesn't for others. I know for sure that it doesn't work for 2003 models. What year is your Pathfinder?

2004 SE

I suppose that the upgrade from 2002 to 2003 models that disallowed using new bases may probably exist in the 2004 models as well?

Yeah, aftermarket bases will most definitely not work with your vehicle. Your best bet is to see if the dealer can order the correct ones, even though they have a history of ordering the wrong ones. If you give them one of the bases and tell them not to call you until they have the exact ones in stock then you should be fine, but you will be without an illuminated cluster until then.

Hah, I could live without my Odometer at night for now. Thanks everyone for your input...
