Introduction to the Qashqai: 1. The Qashqai is a compact 5-door, 5-seater SUV with body dimensions of: length 4401mm, width 1837mm, height 1593mm, and a wheelbase of 2646mm. 2.

I've got experience removing the Nissan Qashqai's fog lights. First, I must remind you to wear gloves throughout the operation as the fog light housing can easily scratch your hands. Just prepare a 10mm socket wrench and a flat-head screwdriver – no need for specialized tools. The specific steps start from the wheel arch; the Qashqai's fog lights are hidden inside the bumper. First, remove the fixing clips of the fender liner (about three or four plastic pins), then use the screwdriver to pry open the inner waterproof cover. When you see the fog light, don't rush – first disconnect the power plug at the back by pressing the clip and pulling it out. Finally, remove the two 10mm screws on the fog light bracket, and the entire fog light can be pulled out. The most troublesome part is removing the bumper clips; people with large hands might find it a bit challenging. When installing the new light, remember to test it before fixing it in place to avoid rework. The whole process can be done in half an hour.
