Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai Facelift - J11b (2017–2021)

Post by Dan_uk »

Hi all.
First time user here and would really appreciate your support!
The front drivers side fog lamp lens has been smashed on our 2019 Qashqai (it is the rectangular-ish type fog light, not the round type found on earlier J11 models). The car is due for MOT soon and I have read that this damage would result in a MOT fail, so would like to sort it before putting in for a test.
I have searched online for an instruction of how to replace the fog lamp unit and been unsuccessful. I could do with some help with how to access the fog lamp unit then what needs to be done to replace it.
Thanks in advance.

This may help but is for earlier iteration with ROUND front fogs ;)

looks to be pretty straightforward although fiddly to replace. Wheel arch liner will need to be pulled back or maybe Jack (use stands for safety too) the front of the car up to gain access under the bumper?
the unit is held to the bumper by two bolts and a securing clip. Release the wiring connections.
Then once clear of the bumper just undo the three bolts and remove the fog light unit.
