    Mr. RemoteLife, when you said $876 my stomach turned. I just bought a used QX80 and I immediately pacnicked. Thank GOD for people like you and may others that do the research and share this with us. May GOD bless you and Thank You!!!

    Thanks for the video! I have the exact same issue with mine. Same side and everything! They also wanted to charge me over 900 for the first work. Not including replacing the splash screen, or the waterproof cap on the back. I ordered all parts plus new bulbs for 130. Huge savings! Thanks again for the video! Helped me out and saved a ton of money!

    I am so very glad I watched your video. At the same time, I agree and share in your disappointment of the Infiniti luxury cost for repairs. I have had my 2011, at Infiniti, here in, Tulsa, many times. I had their manager call me and tell me the 2011’s are their worst year model and advised me to dump it. Only not at their place! Seems the “service engine soon” light is tell of many possibilities wrong with the car. So many it’s impossible to narrow it down without dropping $2,500. Anyway, my headlight went out and figured it was a bulb. I purchased a pair from Amazon for $10. Watching your video tells me I need to get back online. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and with great detail. Hope you and your family are safe during these times of the pandemic. Blessings to you and yours!

    Great Vid bout to have to tear into mine. Replaced the fog light and headlight on passenger fog light worked for a day and then stopped and the headlight never worked so this is my next replacement. Went to Infinity dealership to see if they could just see what was wrong and they wanted $180 just to look at it. 😂

  • @a2zjanet

    I replaced driver headlight on my newly acquired jx 35 it quit in 3 days.. I researched and proceeded to order a new ballast.. NO HEADLIGHT.. soooo I checked the wires going from that headlight into the wiring headlight... the wires have power flow.
    I looked up the fuse diagram for this car online finally after wasting two weekends in a row tearing apart the front end of the car trying to find the issue. I thought of that before but my guy friends said naaa it’s not a fuse bc the right headlight works. I looked and guess what the fuse looks blown.
    The funny part is I’m a woman, and I’ve been to the local infinity dealer to get some warranty work done a month ago. (Prior to the headlight going out).
    Their parts guy in Greenville Sc is Bucky and he couldn’t help me one bit with any information. He later tried to sell me a new headlight assembled for $1600... said they don’t sell the ballast separately. WHAT A RACKET!!!
    I called again today after the ballast didn’t make the lights work to ask about fuses. Their same infinity parts expert said he doesn’t know anything about fuses and has no access to the fuse diagrams or any related information that I might want to know about which fuses and / or relay may fix my headlight issues! He did as always like a good boy recommend I bring it in for a service appointment and they could help me.
    Is this just because I’m a woman that circle back to just bring it in or do dealerships try this with anyone??
    It’s annoying AF!!!

    I feel your pain seems Infiniti Dealers love to say 800 plus or 1000 dls for any small repair I understand they try to make money but what infiniti does is a real steal , my wife took our jx35 for oil change, Trans fluids, change and the rest of the axle fluid change they say two years ago 800 plus dollars plus tax.. I told them is a routine mantenance nothing is broke .. so I was talking with some mechanics around and one of them service my car now , the shop is a well known place unexpensive they do a great job, and show me the parts to be replaced, I only take my jx35 to the dealear when I have "No CHOICE".. Good luck if you have the Engine light ON ...I just want to say How desapointed I am with Infiniti service costs. Thanks

      @mrremotelife  Рік тому

      Yes, from my experience the only issues that you have to look at are the catalytic converters, there are two on these. Also the ride height stabilizer bar in the rear will go out causing the rear to sag and possibly burn out the compressor. The price of Pirelli or Bridgestone 22” tires. Don’t put nothing else on this SUV.

      I didn’t have that model but if it’s really an LED it will be one of two things. Check the fuse that controls that signal or check the cabling. LED shouldn’t blow out under normal conditions.

    I watched your video, opened the Ballus, water inside, couldn’t unplug it, left it there, to watch your video again, may be wait to dry- the light 💡 is working now. So far the cost 💲 0 dollars. Did you discard the bulb?

    Ok, I have condensation inside my headlights. Infiniti quotes me for a new Assembly, just the part, $1,956.00, w the installation $2,900.00. My shop mechanic insists on getting the Infiniti Assembly only and says he can save me money at $2,400.00. I have bought a new aftermarket one w a year warranty for $700.00.
