Replacing the rear headlight bulbs in the Nissan Altima is a very simple task; let's see how to proceed in this tutorial. First, move the carpet in the trunk area near the headlight you intend to remove by taking out the 3 plastic rivets as shown in the video.

Once done, disconnect the connectors attached to the two bolts and unbolt the nuts using a 10mm wrench. At this point, you can free the headlight from the body and proceed to replace the faulty bulb by turning the socket counterclockwise to remove it from the headlight.
