Best Nissan Sentra Accessories

The headlights of the Nissan Sentra have obviously come a long way over the past three decades and today’s premium trim levels come with high tech LED headlights with LED daytime running lights. However, if you have an older model or a newer model in lower priced trim, you might wish that you had brighter headlights. There are many headlight bulbs on the market which will illuminate the road more clearly, including cost LED conversions, but the easiest option is a good set of replacement bulbs.

Sylvania is easily one of the biggest names in the world of aftermarket headlights and the Silverstar Ultra line is the company’s brightest Halogen option. These headlight bulbs are brighter and whiter, leading to better clarity and a broader field of vision. Of course, you will want to make sure to get the correct bulbs for your Sentra, but Sylvania makes a Silverstar bulb replacement for most modern bulb sizes. These plug right into the factory harness, so installation is very simple.

The bottom line is seeing better and being seen better while driving makes things safer for everybody, making the Silverstar Ultra headlight bulbs among the smartest Nissan Sentra accessories you can add.

Many modern Nissan Sentra sedans came from the factory with aluminum wheels. Those wheels are typically nicer looking and lighter than steel wheels, removing the need for hubcaps while also improving both performance and efficiency. The downside is that aluminum has a high salvage metal price, making aluminum wheels a popular target for thieves with a connection in the recycling world. Fortunately, you can help thwart thieves with a simple set of wheel locks.

This lock set from McGard is a great option for protecting the wheels on your Nissan Sentra. Unlike some wheel locks, which have a uniquely-shaped exterior, these have a smooth round exterior. The key for these locks slides inside of the round exterior, with a unique pattern that matches the key on the inside of the locking nut that engages the same pattern on the end of the lock nut. Without the key, these round lug nuts are a nightmare to remove, so thieves will generally avoid cars with them in place.

If you have driven many different vehicles, the odds are good that you have been in the driver’s seat of at least one car with a seat belt that rested across the side of your neck. Hopefully your Nissan Sentra seat belt stays out on your shoulder, but if you find that it does rub against your neck, it can become very bothersome during a long drive – particularly on a hot day. Even if the seat belt doesn’t rest against your neck, having it rub against your chest or shoulder will become uncomfortable. Luckily, the solution to this problem is simple and inexpensive.

The best way to keep your seat belt of your Nissan Sentra rubbing against your neck is a simple seat belt strap pad. The seat belt strap pad shown here has the Nissan circular logo and text logo, but if this is a bit too flashy for you, there are basic pads in a single color. They all do the same basic job, wrapping around the seat belt and attaching to itself with Velcro, allowing you to adjust them to work for drivers and passengers of any height. While this is a very simple solution, being able to make drivers and passengers more comfortable means this is one of our favorite affordable Nissan Sentra accessories.

If you drive a late model Nissan Sentra in a higher trim level, you may have leather seats, but the vast majority of Sentras from the last three decades have cloth seats. Cloth doesn’t look quite as nice and it is harder to keep clean. Of course, in an older model, the cloth may have worn through to expose the inner padding or springs. If you want your older seats to look nicer, or if you want your newer Sentra to have a more premium look while also being easier to maintain, you need a good set of seat covers.

We found these leatherette seat covers from EKR on Amazon and they are a great option for anyone looking to dress up the cabin of their Nissan Sentra from the 2013 through 2019 model years. These covers are designed to attach to the front and rear seats with a factory fitment and there is no question that the seats with these covers look better than an aging cloth seat, but they are also easier to clean.

The odds are good that you will use the trunk of your Nissan Sentra to carry all sorts of items, from groceries to children’s toys to items for work. The key issue with the trunk in most vehicles is that the smooth floor don’t do much to hold things in place. As a result, after a short drive, the contents of any bags in the trunk could be rolling from side to side. That is an annoyance, but if any of those rolling food containers breaks, it can become a real mess.

This trunk organizer from HeyTrip is one of the coolest options we have seen – no pun intended. This trunk organizer is modular, so you can add or remove portions to make it fit in every space. If it is too big in its full form for the trunk, you can take off a couple compartments, but this organizer has a key feature. It has a soft-sided cooler that will keep cold items fresh longer, whether you are on a shopping trip or a road trip. It’s one of the best Nissan Sentra accessories going.

At this point, pretty much everyone has a cell phone and that has been true for the better part of a decade. Oddly, few cars made in the past decade have a good solution for holding your cell phone in place, in view, and the Nissan Sentra is one of them. If you use your cell phone for navigation or hands-free communication while on the go with your Sentra, you have liked found that it is hard to keep the phone in a secure, convenient spot.

There are many options on the market for universal cell phone holders, but this item from Miracase is one of the most adaptive for different vehicles and different phones. It comes with both a suction cup and a clamp mount for different mounting options. The portion that holds the phone can be adjusted side-to-side to accommodate just about every device and the extendable arm allows you to bring your phone a bit closer while driving.

If you live or work somewhere that leads you to walk through dirt or mud, the odds are good that some of it has made its way onto the carpeting of your Nissan Sentra. The factory floor mats help to protect the carpeting, but over time, the carpeted floor mats look bad and they offer no real protection against fluids. If you spill a drink on the floor, the mats won’t do much to stop it from soaking into the carpeting, creating a headache of a mess to clean up.

When it comes to protecting the interior of your car, these floor mats from Husky are just about the best Nissan Sentra accessories available. They are designed to keep just about everything off of the carpeting of your Sentra. They are custom measured to perfectly fit in the front foot wells and across the rear floor, with raised sides to keep liquids in place. You can get in with muddy feet or dump a chocolate shake on these mats and cleanup is as easy as taking them out and rinsing them off.
