Light for Infiniti analog clock out

[MattsFX]

Anyone know how to replace or get to the bulb(s) for the clock in an 04 FX35 ? Mine went out and now I cant see what time it is after dark since this is the only clock in the car...​

mattsfx - were you able to replace the bulb... mine went out as well and they mention using a removal tool to take the clock finisher out... was wondering what tool you used?

in for answer too

does the clock panel just pop out with force?
thinking of replacing bulb too with some white leds

The clock pops out pretty easy but getting the bulbs out resulted in fail on my end. I'm not sure of a good way to get the bulbs out due to the type they are.

So after 120,000 miles of driving with my headlights constantly on (i.e. clock bulb always on), these two bulbs went out.

How much are these bulbs? I'm looking for just regular bulbs, not LEDs. Infinitipartsusa.com has them for $10.54 each!!!

And wow was that easy to remove, just grab and pull, disconnect then twist bulbs counterclockwise and tap them out.



17) Bulb and socket

Does anyone know the bulb size (part number)?

Found this on a G35 website. The bulb looks the same as the Infiniti FX35/FX45 so you should be good. I don't want LED's but here is the LED version:

Any Neo - Wedge LED Type B 10mm= 3/8"

thanks for the info. I want to do the LED bulbs.

For what it's worth, the bulb I took out says V2. And I googled it and it's a T5 bulb.

But basically, find a LED bulb that isn't too tall, the OEM bulb is short.

Also, on the back there must be flat with a place to turn a philips/screwdriver clockwise to lock it in place.

The Neo bulb has that, while the other #74 bulbs don't.

good info

So online catalogs are wrong to an extent.

If you have an amber colored bulb (i.e. yellowish light from clock), you need part number 24860-AM620.

If you have or want a blue colored bulb (i.e. NOT how the 2003 FX45 came from factory), you want part number 24860-3Y101, which is what is listed on infinitipartsusa.com.

So now I have to return my blue colored bulbs (miss-match of my entire dash), for the amber...

Okay -- so the blue bulb is $2.00 more.

I guess I don't have to return it because I can take the amber cover off my old bulbs and replace the bulb cover.
