Title: how to change tail light bulb
Post by: winxp on October 06, 2009, 06:18:45 PM

Hi,

The bulb for my rear tail light just gone dead. Can anyone let me know how to change the bulb? Do we remove the tail light cover (if so how) or is it accesible from the trunk? Cannot find any information on this in the manual.

Other than going back to TCM. Is there other place that provide renewal service with little down time? half an hour job?

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks!!

You can just remove the trunk cover near the tail light (few clips only) and replace the light bulb... It is between 3mins to 30mins job depending on your skill.

Just to share, that there is a recall for tail light issues:
Description of Problem
The stop lamp may not operate due to the possibility of a poor connection between the stop
lamp socket and the stop lamp bulb. In the worst case scenario the fuse which operates the
rear stop lamps may fail causing all stop lamps (including the high mount stop lamp) not to
operate.

One picture hope that can help you

from versa forum:

"once you open the hatch, on each side, there are 2 covers... pop those covers off and you will see 2 8mm nuts... take them out... DON'T DROP THOSE NUTS INSIDE!!!

then this is the tricky part.... there are like 3 clips that hold the tail light in place.. you gotta slide it out towards the REAR of the car. give it a few smacks if you need.. "
