2013 - 2017 Nissan Altima Tail light Brake bulb change - DIY video

[@elliottpino61]

I never had a fatherly figure to teach me about cars and how to fix things on my own but with this video I learned how to change my tail light bulb. So thank you so much for teaching me

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Best comment I have ever received on this channel. Humbling to know that I am blessed to be a blessing.

[@MunchyD340]

Even to this day your video was the best explained in apply pressure to middle as you slide light assembly out. I nearly cracked mines prying with screwdriver

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Thank you for the compliment. I am glad to see my old videos being still relavant and useful.

[@AmericnOutlnder]

4:05 Wow, this is the 1st video I've ever watched in my 4 yrs of Altima ownership, that doesn't show the person struggling to take off their tail light!

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Read the comments. 50/50 split on people easily getting it off or it never comes out. Hit and miss I guess.

[@rubenvalles2919]

I don't understand why you would give this a thumbs down. Step by step clear with tools instructions Not only to remove but to put back. Thank you for your info and your time making this video nice job bro.

[@kingdingaling2469]

@@shadowdinoxd7811 Doesn’t work? I just change mine for the 1st time since I bought My 2016 in 2017 and it went exactly like He said Everything exactly , to the mm , including how hard to break it lose but having to get it pushed evenly. It definitely wasn’t the video doing anything wrong. You were just being a weenie.

he broke the tab holding the front corner of it

After 9 yrs my bulb finally went out and your vid saved me some headaches

[@icruise4me]

I lift weights and I'm having a hard time pushing the light housing and this guy. One push and bata boom, done. Damn it! I ain't lifting no mo! Lol

[@cuzbensedsopublishingllc9680]

Lmao 😂 I’m having the same problem. Easier said than done. My hands not working right

[@kimspearman6380]

Me too

[@calferath]

@@kimspearman6380 Same, it just depends how wedged in it is. I pushed pretty damn hard too and the car was just rolling back and forth.

[@wolfpack2834]

They don’t like this video because they want you to pay a mechanic and think the bumper needs to come out! Just to charge you like 100 bucks thanks for the video i needed that push and it came off easy !! Thank you !!

[@GatormanEsquire]

Four years later, and this video is still proving useful. Thanks!

[@survivalguy11]

thanks my g. Twin pack of bulbs from auto zone cost me $9.19. 6 minutes of Labor with help of your video. And Nissan wanted over $70 for this!!

[@joesplaylist9429]

Thanks for the help, dealer wanted 90$ to do what you showed me for free and it worked. Great video.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

In that case I deserve a tip... Just kidding. Hope you subscribed.

[@allenm8182]

Thank you. Used your video to change my son’s brake light today. Even with the instructions that housing was a little bit of a bugger to “push” out. Thanks again for your video Spot on.

[@lil_brando98]

Wow you just saved me. Driver side popped right off. Passenger was a serious pain but luckily your video came up, and it popped off 2nd try with that technique

[@coach0080]

The people who gave it a thumbs down are probably pissed that the light wont come out easily. I've done it and I broke the taillight trying to push and pull it out. You actually have to hit it hard to get it to come out. Or at least I did. Small break in the plastic but it got changed and works

[@britneygilbert4475]

worked like a charm on my 2013. amazing video and I have never done this before but your directions were spot on. thanks!!

[@Thomaskimani]

I just changed the bulb. Clear instructions made it very easy.

[@SwampTaco]

Same perfect instructions now if I didn’t drop one of the nuts it would have been quicker to fix but back to normal now.

[@kingdingaling2469]

Yea , This Dude is a blessing.

[@negranomicon]

Thank you so much! A week before I’m readying to travel across three states one of my back tail lights decides to go out. I found out by getting pulled over, yay!-no ticket, thank goodness.

[@sebsefyu]

Very detailed. I like ppl that pay attention to little detail (rubbers) that matter down in long run. Thank you. Much appreciate it.

[@brianbaker359]

Great tip on using the flat of your hand to push firmly on the outside of the taillight assembly, also testing before reassembling. Thanks for your excellent instructional video.

[@petercervantes2446]

Thanks a million for this invaluable information. I was trying to remove the brake light assembly after removing the two 8mm nuts but it wouldn't move. Now I know why. Thanks again.

[@TedDarby]

Good and helpful instructions. I appreciate it. Took less than the length of the video to do the left side and the right side was just as quick. One thing I did not do was remove the grommets from the liner. I hate those things and usually mess them up. So if I can get by without removing them the better off I am. I was able to get to the two nuts easy and it was a snap. Thanks JJ

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Thank you for the feedback.

[@Come-What-May]

Clear and easy to understand. Much appreciated.

[@tleeg74]

Ive had to change my bulb 3 times in the last 3 years and I always watch this video as a reminder on how to do this. Thanks

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Thanks, glad to help.

[@NotNline_iB]

Pushing the tail light how u said helped with removing them! Excellent method!

[@WillGarciasv]

Brother you are a genius! I was breaking my head how I was gonna replace the bulb. I suppose it works the same for 2017

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Yes, it works the same for 2013 to 2018 I believe.

Anybody still here? I had 1 of my tail light not working buh brake light works, took out the bulb both filaments are good, I replaced the bulb anyway and it still the same problem of having the tail light not coming on

[@scottlund4562]

@@Shaidamain On the approx 2017 Sentra they actually have a factory defect that causes your exact problem, but I don't know if it carries over to the Altima. My son had wire harnesses replaced a couple times under warranty.

[@kimandjennifer]

Excellent instructions! Note we were able to remove the right-side assembly without removing any carpet tags.

[@harryhong6540]

The housing is too tough to pull for me. I tried to push and pull as hard as I can and it doesn't move at all. Yes I did unscrew those two screws. Any tips?

Mechanic wanted to charge my daughter $80.00, No way!

[@brucewayne-ej3cx]

That's cause its a piece of shit car (no offense i have one too) and sometimes the light housing won't come off. My 13, two door interrior handles, thermostat @ 100k miles. Dude, i do the work myself. I'll tell you this, you don't make the housing of the thermostat out of fucking plastic. It bolts to metal. This car is made to fail. This is more like a chevy and nothing like a toyota.

[@samaanam76]

Thank you 😊

[@dirtcity3108]

Thank you for the help I did it to my moms car

[@alandon]

Seems like adhesive around my tail light fixture that is preventing me from removing it from the frame. Don’t want to damage it with too much effort :(

[@rlgonzalez04]

There's no adhesive, just those two ball stud type of nuts that need force to be moved out. Give it a good push. Put blue painters take on the bumper right below the taillight to avoid scratches

[@kingdingaling2469]

It’s just a pain in the arss to break that seal the first time. But this Guy explains it perfect. I had to use so much force to get mine to release on the far end , it just wouldn’t and then it broke free & shot off. Almost break it to fix. Damn Nissan. Just wait until you change the headlights if you haven’t had to yet. Nissan trippen with making it a complete ridiculous pain in the butt , you have to take the bumper off to replace a headlight. Ridiculous & scandalous. There’s a YT though that will show you how to go up from the wheel well and it works. WAY BETTER But not the way Nissan tells you to do it. Scandalous $ Hungry turds.

[@dannybose3374]

I have 2014 and this method is not working

[@topofthefoodchainz3665]

For some odd reason my tail light will not come off no matter what I do I’m prying I’m banging & pushing but there seems to be one more connection or something else holding it in place🤬

[@JT111678]

You don’t need to remove those plastic clips holding on the carpet. Just pulled down the carpet from the top gives you enough room to get to the bolts holding the tail lights. Unscrew and push the light out

[@0426dav]

J, you"re absolutely correct.

There is another piece, a square peg holding down the assembly. I can't get it out, and none of the videos account for it. Why does my 2015 Altima have an extra square peg in the back of the assembly holding the whole thing in.

[@josemartimartir]
