A couple of weeks ago, some miscreant in a parking lot hit my 2000 Maxima and broke the driver side rear marker light. They left a note and $60 (but no name).
Anyway, the lens assembly was broken and the plastic body-colored piece next to the lens assembly was cracked as well. I have gotten the replacement parts but now I have to figure out how to install them.
The hard part is the plastic body-colored piece which is attached to a fairly large bracket. You cannot replace this piece from the outside of the vehicle. I did replace the lens from the outside.
So, it appears as if the entire bumper has to come of in order to mount the bracket. Can anybody verify if this is true? Also, if true, is this a DIY job or do I need to take it to a body shop?
BTW - the parts cost me about $75...
