How to remove tail lite cover on 2002 xteara - 2002 Nissan Xterra

have you checked the fuses and replaced the bulbs?

I have a 97 Blazer that also did that then my actual headlights dimmed well one did. I got a new headlight switch from advance auto put that in and all my lights worked like they were supposed to again. The old switch was literally burning up in my truck the prongs were burned so I was glad I didnt put it off any longer

could be the tail lite housing. or the ground on the frame rail back near that location. remove the assembly till its hanging by its wires and remove the bulb. using a test lite probe the socket with the flasher on see if it blinks. if not go down under the rear of the truck and unplug the connector for both tail lites and do the same probe each connector on the harness that goes forward till your test lite starts to blink if it does there then the tail lite assembly is bad if not then repost and ill lead you further

yes, I just did the same, Don't try removing the tail lite itself, just lay on the ground reach your hand up there and turn the lite socket to realease and replace bulb. There is a tab holding the tail lite in place even after you take out the screws and it can break, if it does your tail lite maynot go back on correclty. Good look, it's actually very simple and quick

There are for Philip screws holding your tail light cover onto your dodge. Step 1: Just remove those screws and pull the cover off. Step 2: Remove the light bracket out of the cover and replace with a 1057 bulb.

Look inside the trunk -- you may have to move the liner aside -- there are three plastic wing nuts holding in each tail light assembly. Remove the nuts and the entire assembly will come out. The light sockets come out with a quarter turn twist.

Most cars tail lights are atached by a couple of nuts from inside the trunk. you will have to peel back the carpet , or remove plastic cover panel if there is one.

Remove the 4 push pins in the plastic panel that covers the trunk latch striker the will be 2 on the far sides of it and 2 on the lower part of it in the center. Then pull back the carpet that covers the area behind the tail lamps and remove the nuts from the studs then remove tail lamp.

If you look inside the trunk, you will need to undo the panel inside trunk to gain access to the bolts that mount the tail light assy's.

Here's a great how to video that will also show you what you need to do to change them.
