Pathfinder Tail light replacement

Sep 09, 2003 3 Replies

Does anyone out there know the complexity involved in changing a tail light in a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder? I've got one burnt out, and I'd rather just replace it myself if it's not too hard. Thanks in advance!


open the hatch and remove the 2 screws on the inboard edge of the tail light assembly, then grab it with both hands and give it a pull, it will feel like it won't come out but don't worry , the outside edge is held in by 2 clips.

once it is out just unscrew the socket from the back of the tail light and change out the bulb, it reinstall it just line up the 2 pins on the outside of the light with the sockets mounted on the body and give it a shove, it should pop into place
