This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the 1st generation (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, & 2013) Nissan Rogue in changing a burnt out license plate light bulb in the cargo tailgate.

Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Versa, Cube, Sentra, Altima, LEAF, Maxima, Juke, Murano, Xterra, Pathfinder, Armada, Quest, Frontier, Titan, 370Z, G37, M37, EX37, FX37, JX35, and QX56 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A replacement bulb is part # 168 from various manufacturers such as Sylavnia, GE, Eiko, Putco, and PIAA.

You can also use any other miniature wedge base bulb such as the 194, W5W, 2825, 2827 or a compatible LED unit.

The only tool needed to change the bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver used to remove the access panel.

1/4 Turn Counter Clockwise
The first step is to raise the rear cargo tailgate and move to the side with the burnt out license plate light bulb.

Locate the rectangular access panel on the underside of the tailgate and gently pry it out by inserting a flathead screwdriver in to the notch at the bottom. Set the cover aside in a safe place.

Reach in and grasp the light tan light bulb socket and rotate it 1/4 turn counter clockwise before pulling it straight out.
