Replacing the Rear Headlamp Bulb on a 2012 Nissan Qashqai

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Tail light bulb

As usual, before any maintenance operation on any car, position the vehicle on a flat surface or a ramp to carry out the work safely and stably. To replace the rear headlamp bulb, open the boot. Now, remove the boot panel by unscrewing the screw located inside the handle and pulling along the perimeter of the panel to release the clips holding it in place. This gives access to the reverse light bulbs. After disconnecting the electrical supply, turn counter-clockwise to extract the bulb holder, then turn it clockwise to remove the bulb and replace it with a new one. Refit everything. At this point, unscrew the 2 bolts (located on the boot lid) that secure the indicator block and remove it from its housing. Disconnect the electrical supply and remove the bulb cover. Now you can turn the bulb and pull it out of its housing. Install the new bulb and replace every element in its place. That's it!
