How do you replace Nissan Quest rear license plate lights?

Answer 1

I can't believe no one has answered this. So if the mini vans are all same here is how you do it. I did it on a 1999 Nissan Quest. There are two panels in the rear door that come out. You can try to undo the bolts around the lights there are 3 of them on each light. Unplug both lights and there are 2 wires that connect the license plate light connected to a white plug. Unplug the plug and push the grommet through the other side with the wires left in it.

(Pause If you can't get the nuts off of the lights you may have to remove the entire rear panel. Take the 2 screws out of the handle and then pop off the rear cover. Unplug the cargo light to totally remove the panel (recommended), this will give you full access to the lights bolts and all plugs).

Then on the other side there are 2 bolt like screw above the lights 2 not 4 unscrew them and the whole assembly will come off. I took the piece off and took it inside, you don't have to. once inside there are 4 screws hold the lights together. The screws probably won't come out by simply turning them. I took a flat blade screw drive and pushed on the backside as a I turned on the front side. Eventually getting them all out, I took pliers and squeezed the anchors to push them out so I could get the lights out. Once out on the top of the light fixture is an arrow that says rotate to remove. Rotate in that direction and the light comes out. Simply pull the bulb out and replace with new ones. I recommend doing both since this is such a process. I also turned the bulb holder around so in the future I would not have to take the grommets apart to replace the bulbs.

If you have gotten this far I am sure you can figure the rest out! Hope this helps...no one seemed to know not even the dealers!!! Good luck...oh and if you remove the rear panel entirely make sure all the body part holders are out of the body and on the panel before reinserting.................OR YOU OPEN THE REAR TRUNK THERE'S A HANDLE ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE WITH TWO SCREWS ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE HANDLE WITH A SCREWDRIVER POP OPEN THE ACCESS DOORS AND UNSCREW THE BOLTS THAN CONT...TO TAKE THE PANEL OFF...(I WOULD TAKE THE WHOLE THING OFF) LIFT IT JUST ENOUGH SO YOU CAN GET TO THE TWO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT COVER...TAKE THEM OFF NOW YOU CAN GET TO THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS...YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT FROM THERE....AND UMMMMMM YOUR WELCOME
