🔧 Juke - Front Turn Signal Bulb Replacement

Your front turn signal bulbs sit inside the headlight housing. On your Juke, the most beginner-friendly access is usually through the front wheel-well liner so you can reach the bulb socket without removing the headlight.

Assumption: Most 2016 Juke front turn signals use an amber wedge bulb (commonly 7440A). If your new bulb doesn’t match the old one, return it and match by shape.

Difficulty Level: Beginner | Estimated Time: 0.5-1.0 hours

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• ⚠️ Work on level ground and chock the rear wheels.
• ⚠️ Turn the ignition OFF and lights OFF before starting.
• ⚠️ If you raise the front, support it with jack stands—never rely on a jack alone.
• ⚠️ Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs with bare fingers (skin oil can shorten bulb life).
• ⚠️ Battery disconnect is not required for this job.

📋 Before You Begin

• Clip tool prevents breaking plastic fasteners.

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Access the wheel-well area

• Turn the steering wheel full lock away from the bulb you’re replacing.
• If you want maximum room, use a floor jack to lift the front corner and set it on jack stands.
• If removing the wheel for extra space, loosen/tighten with a 19mm lug wrench. Torque to 113 Nm (83 ft-lbs) when reinstalling.

Step 2: Pull back the front fender liner

• Use a trim clip removal tool to pop out the plastic push-clips along the front part of the liner.
• Remove any small screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
• If there’s a small bolt, remove it using a 10mm socket, 3/8" ratchet, and 6" extension.
• Peel the liner back just enough to get your hand to the back of the headlight.

Step 3: Remove the turn signal bulb socket

• Use a flashlight to find the turn signal socket at the back of the headlight (it’s the socket that twists out).
• Grip the socket and rotate it counterclockwise about 1/4 turn, then pull it straight out.
• If it’s tight, wiggle—don’t yank.

Step 4: Replace the bulb

• Put on nitrile gloves.
• Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket (wedge-style bulb).
• Push the new amber bulb straight into the socket until fully seated.

Step 5: Quick function test

• Before reassembly, turn the ignition to ON and switch on the turn signal for that side.
• Verify it flashes normally (not rapid). Then turn everything OFF.

Step 6: Reinstall the socket and liner

• Reinsert the socket into the headlight and twist clockwise about 1/4 turn to lock.
• Reposition the wheel-well liner.
• Reinstall the bolt (if equipped) using a 10mm socket. Torque not specified: snug, do not overtighten.
• Reinstall screws with a Phillips #2 screwdriver and push-clips using the trim clip removal tool.
• If you removed the wheel, torque lug nuts with a 19mm lug wrench: Torque to 113 Nm (83 ft-lbs).

✅ After Repair

• Test left and right turn signals and the hazard lights.
• Make sure the wheel-well liner is secure and not rubbing the tire.
• If you still have rapid flashing, the bulb may be the wrong type or another signal bulb may be out.
