I forgot to say - the altima is a 2002. Hope you guys can help!
- Remove the black plastic clip located at the top rear of the trunk that is holding the trunk liner in place. Use a flat-blade screwdriver in the slot and turn. The retainer will separate about 1/8 inch. Then pull it out.
- Slide the nylon wire straps off the two bolt threads extending into the trunk.
- Using a 5/16" spintite (or a 5/16" endwrench if tight), remove the two nuts from the bolts.
- Taillight assembly now can be removed. Turn bulb-holder CCW to access bulb and turn bulb CCW to remove.
