Could anyone point in the right direction of a thread that has the write up on how to replace 2002 ignition switch bulb or if anyone has the website or write up I would greatly appreciate it.

 

well i know that the bulb itself is a number 74 bulb that will fit, im not sure about the exact OEM nissan size, but i do know #74 LED's work perfectly

check it:

i remember reading the write up myself...but as usual, damn car domain is undergoing some type of maintenance and wont let me in to find the page....

 

Three Philips screws for the cover underneath the steering column, remove those, remove cover. Then it'll be self explanatory, you can just use pliers to take out the old bulb and install new rather than further disassemble.

 

Thats what I figured but the 5th gen cover doesn't seem to be a two piece cover like the 4th gen. My only obstacle would be the turn signal & wiper blade switches.

 

Check Studman's site for alarm install. He has pictures of trim removal and all. http://maxima.theowensfamily.com/viper791xv/

You might get away with just doing steps 3 and 4. If not, its only 2 screws to take the cover off in step 1. You shouldnt need to do step 2. And while you're in there, put in remote start!

By the way, on my 02 there were only 3 screws holding the steering column pieces together. I guess 5 gen has 4 vs 5.5 gen 3?

 

Thanx. And actually I have an 02 I just get lazy sum times & call it 5th gen even though its a 5.5.
