2021 Nissan Rogue Bulb Size Guide

Quick reference

Note: Integrated LED bulbs are not designed to be replaced individually. The entire light assembly must be replaced.

LED vs halogen upgrade considerations

When considering upgrading your 2021 Nissan Rogue's halogen bulbs to LED, there are a few important things to keep in mind. While LED bulbs offer brighter, whiter light and a longer lifespan, they can sometimes cause issues with your vehicle's electrical system.

• CANBUS Errors: The 2021 Nissan Rogue uses a CANBUS system to monitor the vehicle's lighting. Because LED bulbs draw less power than halogen bulbs, the CANBUS system may think a bulb is burnt out and display a "bulb out" warning on your dashboard. To fix this, you will need to install a CANBUS-compatible LED bulb or an in-line resistor.

• Adapters: In some cases, you may need an adapter to properly install an LED bulb in your Rogue's headlight or fog light housing. These adapters help to secure the bulb in place and ensure a proper beam pattern.

• Beam Pattern: It is crucial to choose high-quality LED bulbs that are designed to mimic the beam pattern of a halogen bulb. Poorly designed LED bulbs can create a scattered, unfocused beam pattern that can be dangerous for both you and other drivers.

How to replace each bulb

• Headlights: The low and high beam headlights are located in the main headlight assembly. To access them, you will need to open the hood and remove the plastic cover behind the headlight assembly.

• Fog Lights: The fog lights are located in the lower front bumper. To access them, you will need to remove the plastic splash shield from underneath the front of the vehicle.

• Turn Signals: The front turn signals are located in the headlight assembly, while the rear turn signals are in the tail light assembly. Access is similar to the headlights and tail lights.

• Brake and Tail Lights: The brake and tail lights are located in the rear tail light assembly. To access them, you will need to open the rear hatch and remove the plastic cover behind the tail light assembly.

• Reverse Lights: The reverse lights are also in the tail light assembly and can be accessed in the same way as the brake and tail lights.

• License Plate Lights: The license plate lights are located above the license plate. To access them, you will need to remove the plastic trim piece that surrounds the license plate.

• Side Marker Lights: The front side marker lights are in the headlight assembly. The rear side marker lights are integrated into the tail light assembly and are not individually replaceable.

• Dome and Map Lights: The dome and map lights are located in the overhead console. To access them, you will need to pry off the plastic lens cover with a small, flat-head screwdriver.

Common lighting issues for this generation

The 2021 Nissan Rogue is a relatively new vehicle, so there are not many widespread lighting issues to report. However, some owners have reported premature burnout of the halogen headlight bulbs. This is not uncommon for modern vehicles, as manufacturers are using thinner filaments to improve efficiency. If you experience this issue, consider upgrading to a high-quality set of LED bulbs.

Another issue that has been reported is condensation in the headlight and tail light assemblies. This can be caused by a number of factors, including a poor seal or a crack in the housing. If you notice condensation in your light assemblies, it is important to have them inspected by a qualified technician as soon as possible.
