One of the rear interior light units above the doors in my 2016 Qashqai has packed in. Does anybody know where I can order a replacement?

I have spent hours searching online and still my best option is £25 from eBay or $18 from Ali Express for a very similar but not identical light fitting for the older Qashqai model. If I knew for sure that it would fit then I'd go for it, but I don't. I've also phoned all the scrapyards in my area and none of them have any model of Qashqai in stock, which I was amazed at.

I'm stumped!

Go to the scrap yard your self, none had a mk1.5 +2 in when I needed a rear interior light but being a bit of a parts bin manufacturer nissan it turns out 1 gen old Micra front interior lights are the same, so you never know what you will find in another nissan ...... Or dare is say renault

Have you tried just changing the bulb? That would be the first thing I'd try before replacing the whole unit.

Have you looked that the Door Plunger is working correctly. Why not just pop down to a Nissan Dealer and order or buy a new unit, at least you will have the satisfaction that it will be new and “Should” work but OK it will cost more - Dave :)

Welcome to this forum.

Firstly the question?

"Where can I order a spare interior light unit/"

The answer is "At a Nissan dealer" - isn't that obvious? Why spend "hours" looking for one ?????

Secondly why ?????

It's covered by the warranty!

Forgive me for being blunt but I'm totally mystified!

Bgmick - I think that sounds like my best plan, thanks.
Greg86 & DaveBerlin - yup, switched bulbs and the whole fitting with the one on the driver's side. Both bulbs work, but just that one unit doesn't. It's definitely that.
gloucester - Firstly, I want to spend as little as possible, and secondly, it's my own fault but I don't think it would be covered under warranty any more. I surmised that the fault would be nothing a bit of solder wouldn't fix, so attempted it myself and ended up breaking the switch. I doubt very much whether Nissan would replace it for free as it has clearly been tampered with.

It's always good to have all the information at the outset! I needn't waste my time then...
