This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the 1st generation 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2012 Nissan Versa hatchback in replacing a burnt out cargo area light bulb.

Owners of other related vehicles such as the Nissan Tiida, Latio, Cube, Leaf, Rogue, Murano, Xterra, Note, Micra, Wingroad, Grand Livina, Pulsar, Sunny, Almera, Aprio, Platina, Dodge Trazo, Dacia Logan, Sandero, Renault Clio, Modus, Twingo and the Nissan Grand Livina may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A replacement cargo area light bulb is part # DE3022 from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko, and Putco.

You can also use a brighter DE3022 LED bulb.

The only tool needed to replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver. Insert the blade of the screwdriver in to the rear (left) edge of the housing and gently pry it out.
