I drive a Tesla and really haven't considered the lights of an Infiniti once in my entire life.

After eliminating the fuses, wires and computer he should check the oil, gas, tire pressure and bulbs.

In that order.

I think the mechanic is just trying to rip you off, i use to own a g35, great realiable car. Its just lights went out, do a basic check first or replace the bulbs. Ether way he shouldnt jump to conclusion over a light inspection. Go to pep boys for a free inspection and compare the results.

What year is your car?
Do the rear left/right turn signals work?
If you turn on the hazard lights does the rear flash or only the front?
Or is everything out altogether?

Well assuming the guy at least knew how to check for voltage at the bulb holders if there was none there that could mean a new BCM.


He check the fuse under the hood? Like this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQtA_TnMBwI

I would be glad to come by and give you a second opinion if you got some time. PM me your contact info.

A used G35 - I suspect some riceboys put in some cheap led's and probably shorting out. Keep them factory people.

i smell bullshit with this guys assessment trying to upsell you services that you don't need. First, replace the bulb. If that doesn't work get a 2nd and 3rd opinion from a repair shop that specializes with the Infiniti. Good luck.

Triple check that it is not a fuse. There are 3 fuses boxes on that fucker. Take a look at this video.

Hey HX

The shit only needed a bulb. Evidently the 04 coupe has LED lights and bulbs. But it's fixed for three dollars. And I'm back to my Hoe Adventures. This car was a steal 62,000 miles for 2500. Win

Thanx anyway HX

Dump the Infinity and get a Porsha Carrera. That's the problem with cheap cars.
