how to replace tail lamp 2005 xterra
For any Gen II (1995 - 2005) Blazer, Jimmy, or Bravada, it's all the same. Open the hatch. On the side of the door jamb, you'll see two screws - those hold the tail lamp assembly in place. Remove those, and the whole tail lamp assembly will come out. The bulb holders are in the back of the tail lamp assembly - rotate them counterclockwise, and they will come out. Then you can replace the bulb, put the lamp holder back into the tail lamp assembly, and the installation is the opposite of removal. Pretty simple stuff.. only tools required are a short Phillips screwdriver.
1) Open hatch. 2) Remove two screws at tabs on rear of light assembly. 3) Pull light assembly away from fender in direction perpendicular to side of vehicle. 4) turn bulb/lamp socket and remove from light assembly. 5) Pull bulb from socket. 6) Replace bulb. 7) Test lamp. 8) Installation is reverse to above.
Lower the tailgate. Remove the two screws on the inside to the side of the lamp assembly with an torx wrench. The tail lamp assembly will pop out. Remove the four screws on the backside of the tail lamp with a Phillips head screwdriver. You now have access to the bulbs.
Replacing tail/stop/turn/sidemarker/backup lamp bulbs The tail/stop/turn/sidemarker/backup lamp bulbs are located in the same portion of the tail lamp assembly, one just below the other. Follow the same steps to replace either bulb. Note: Your vehicle is equipped with a backup lamp assembly containing integral multiple light emitting diodes (LED). See your authorized dealer for the replacement LED module. 1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position and then open the liftgate to expose the lamp assembly bolts. 2. Remove the two bolts from the lamp assembly. 3. Carefully remove the lamp assembly away from the vehicle by pulling the assembly straight out to expose the bulb socket. DO NOT TIP THE LAMP ASSEMBLY SIDEWAYS. 4. Rotate the bulb socket counterclockwise and remove from lamp assembly. 5. Pull bulb straight out of socket and snap in the new bulb. 6. Install the bulb socket into the lamp assembly and rotate clockwise. 7. Carefully install the tail lamp assembly on the vehicle by securing the lamp assembly with two bolts.
Hi there, This is really quite simple. You will need to remove the entire tail lamp assembly to do this. open the rear tail gate. locate the 2 10mm nuts (black plastic) on the right side of the left brake lamp assembly, (should also have a slot for a Phillips screw driver). Remove these 2 nuts. Tail lamp assembly is then pressed into a grommet at the rear. You will need to pull straight out towards the rear. (Might be tight) I sometimes use a plastic wedge to help pry off tail lamp assembly. Once tail lamp is out, just depress the 2 plastic clips to release the bulbs from inside the assembly. And replace needed bulbs. (brake light will be the top one) (12v 21w) single filament. Hope this helps.

The rear turn lamp on my 1999 Ford E350 is a multi-function bulb, number 3357; it functions as tail light, brake light, and turn lamp. Some functions may work after others burn out. If the turn lamp has failed, your turn signal will blink more rapidly than normal. The bulb is accessible by removing the rear tail light assembly with a torx-head (star-head) screwdriver; screws are accessible from the outside of the vehicle. Remove all four screws. Twist the middle lamp socket out of the assembly. Carefully pull the bulb from the socket and replace it with a new bulb. Twist the lamp socket back into the assembly, replace the assembly in the frame of the vehicle, and replace screws.
Remove tail light housing. Remove lamp. Replace lamp. Replace tail light housing.
THERE IS NO PARKING LIGHT LENSE FOR THE REAR. IT'S ONLY THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY!
