Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Versa, Maxima, Juke, Rogue, Altima, Xterra, Pathfinder, Sentra, Cube, Armada, Leaf, Quest, Frontier, Teana, 370Z, GT-R, Titan, G25, G37, M35, QX56, QX60 and M37 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The replacement part numbers for the tail light bulbs are as follows: Brake LED (should last life time of vehicle), Rear Turn Signal # WY21W (also 7440NA or 992), Side Marker # 2825 (also 168 or W5W) and Reverse # 921 or W16W.

The tools needed to replace the tail light bulbs include a plastic automotive panel removal pry bar tool, a small flathead screwdriver, a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Gently pry off the black plastic trim cover on the inner edge of the tail light housing with an automotive panel removal tool.

You may need to re-insert the plastic pry bar at a few locations to remove the trim panel.

Try to avoid using excessive force to prevent from breaking the plastic. It should pop off relatively easily.

Set the two bolts aside in a safe place.

Gently pull the tail light housing towards the outside of the vehicle to disengage the two pegs that are mounted perpendicular to the vehicle (pointing towards the other side of the vehicle).

For example, on the passenger side tail light housing, the two pegs point in towards the cargo area.

Turn over the tail light housing to access the bulb sockets.

Re-insert the bulb socket in to the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket.

Re-insert the socket in to the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Line up the two metal pegs on the back side of the tail light housing with their corresponding plastic grommets on the rear corner of the vehicle.

Spin in the two 10mm bolts a few turns in the clockwise direction by hand to prevent them from becoming cross threaded.

Try to avoid over tightening the two bolts to prevent from cracking the plastic inner edge of the housing.

Line up the plastic trim panel over the inner edge of the housing.

Test the new rear turn signal and side marker bulbs by activating the hazard signals and turning on the headlights.

The reverse or "back up" lamp is located in a separate housing attached to the tailgate door.

Gently pry out the two handles with a plastic automotive panel removal tool.

Set the handles aside in a safe place.

Gently push in the round center piece of the four plastic fasteners along the bottom edge of the panel.

Set the four fasteners aside in a safe place.

Gently pull off the tailgate panel to disengage the pop rivet friction fasteners.

Set the tailgate door plastic panel aside in a safe place.

Press the release tab on the white plastic electrical connector before sliding the plug out of its socket.

Pull out the rubber grommet and power plug through the hole if you'd like to entirely separate the housing from the car.

You can leave the power plug connected if you'd just like to quickly change the reverse bulb.

Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket and push in a new # 921 or W16W bulb.

Re-insert the power plug through the hole and push in the rubber grommet.

Line up the three bolt ends on the back side of the housing with their corresponding holes on the tailgate door.

Spin on the three 10mm nuts by hand in the clockwise direction.

Then tighten the three 10mm nuts with the ratcheting wrench until they are snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the nuts to prevent from cracking the plastic light housing.

Line up the pop rivets on the back side of the plastic tailgate panel and push them back in to place.

Re-insert the two plastic handles.

Push in the center piece of the four fasteners to secure them in place.

Test the new bulb by having someone step on the brake pedal and place the transmission in reverse.
