Nissan Kicks Bulb Size

In recent years, Nissan joined the crossover trend with another model called Kicks. Following the steps of the Juke, it is a compact vehicle offering more room of a hatchback, but with more or less the same features. The Kicks is not a premium model, meaning that in most cases, you will be looking at LED headlights at best.

Owners may eventually find themselves in need to replace the light bulbs on their Nissan Kicks, and the table in this article will provide the bulb sizes. 

Reasons for replacing or upgrading the bulbs on a Nissan Kicks

There are two reasons for a need to replace or upgrade the bulbs.

As time goes by, older types of bulbs wear out and stop working. When that happens, the light in that part of the car doesn’t work, meaning that it may be unsafe to drive it, especially if it is one of the exterior lights. In these situations, it is imperative to replace them.

Some trim levels of the Kicks offer LED headlights, but the other bulbs around the vehicle may be the older types. So, picking up an LED upgrade kit will enable you to replace them with LEDs to eliminate the outdated types of bulbs on your vehicle.

What are the upsides to installing LED bulbs on a Nissan Kicks?

Even though the Kicks is a relatively new model, sooner or later you will be in a situation where you will need to replace a broken bulb. When you replace it with an LED, you will be getting a bulb that will last much longer than halogen or HID, at least five times longer.

The design behind the LED bulbs allows them to use much less power than traditional bulbs, meaning that you will be getting efficiency and longer running bulbs. 

How to replace a bulb from a headlight on a Nissan Kicks?

The headlights a mounted fairly high on the car, so access to them is very easy.

Before you begin, disconnect the power cables from the car’s battery to prevent any kind of damage to the electrical parts.

Find the bulb on the back of the headlight assembly, grab it by the connector and turn it counterclockwise until it loosens up. Pull back the bulb and detach it from the connector. Replace the bulb and plug the connector in. Insert the bulb in the same orientation as the one you removed and turn it clockwise.

How long would the original bulbs on my Nissan Kicks last?

The answer to this question is not exact, and it depends on the type of bulbs installed. Halogen bulbs can last for several thousand working hours, while HID may go twice or three times longer.

Will the LED bulbs be brighter than the original bulbs?

Yes, but it depends on the installed bulbs. They are rated based on the number of lumens they can generate, and LED bulbs can create more lumens than halogen or HID bulbs.
