2 Answers
The model number of the Qashqai brake light is 1157, which enhances the penetration of the light source, making it easier to detect when the vehicle in front brakes. The Qashqai is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1593mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2646mm and a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters. It is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151PS, a maximum torque of 194Nm, and a maximum power of 111kW. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5000 to 6000 rpm and its maximum torque at 3500 to 4400 rpm, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The brake light model for the X-Trail is usually 1157, but after driving this car for several years, I've found it's best to check the owner's manual or confirm online by entering the model year, as different versions may vary. Once, while traveling in my X-Trail, the brake light burned out, nearly causing an accident, so I hurried to an auto parts store to buy a new bulb and replaced it myself. Remember the model to avoid buying the wrong one—1157 is a dual-filament bulb, serving both brake and tail light functions. The replacement process isn't difficult: first, open the trunk cover, unscrew the fixing screws, gently pull out the bulb socket, and replace it—just remember to wear gloves to prevent oil stains. Keeping the brake lights functioning properly is crucial; it's very dangerous if others can't see you braking at night, so I recommend regular checks and not being lazy. Saving a little money isn't worth it. If you want to upgrade to LED for more energy efficiency, make sure it's compatible with the car's original circuit to avoid blowing a fuse.
