Difficulty: Beginner · About 20 min · Nissan Murano

Replace the tail lights on a 2009-2014 Nissan Murano.

Steps

1. Remove the tail light

   Open the hatch, pry out the side trim with a trim tool or flat blade screwdriver, remove the tail light's two 10mm bolts, pry out the pins holding it to the body, pull it out, pry up the grommet and wiring, then press the tab to disconnect the connector.

2. Service the bulbs

   Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise out of the light, pull the bulb off, push the new one on, then twist the socket clockwise back in — the side marker is a 194 bulb and the turn signal a 7440.

3. Reinstall the tail light

   Connect the connector, press the wire and grommet into the body, press the tail light into place, tighten its 10mm bolts, then align the trim's tabs with the holes on the tail light.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
