This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation 2014, 2015, 2016 and the refreshed
2017 or 2018 model year Nissan Rogue SUV in changing a burnt out
license plate light bulb in the tailgate door. Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Murano, Altima, Titan, Versa, Sentra, Maxima, Leaf, 370Z, GT-R, Juke, Pathfinder, Armada, Patrol, Skyline, Cube, X-Trail, Xterra, Qashqai, Rogue Sport, NV200, NV400, Teana, Q50, Q70, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX56, QX60, QX70 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb part number is 2825 (or W5W). You can also use a brighter LED unit. The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulbs is a plastic automotive panel pry bar tool. |

Gently Pry Off Interior Panel |
Release Pop Rivets |
Tailgate Panel Removed |
The first step is
to open the tailgate. In order to access the license plate light bulb sockets, you'll have to remove the entire plastic panel on the interior of the tailgate. Use the plastic automotive pry bar tool to gently pull off the edges of the panel and release the plastic pop rivet friction fasteners. Try to avoid using excessive force. The panel should pop off relatively easily. Set the tailgate's interior panel aside in a safe place. |
