To replace the rear headlight bulb on a Nissan Altima, open the trunk to access the cargo area. On the side corresponding to the headlight with the bulb to be replaced, there will be rivets to remove.

This will allow you to move the carpet and unscrew the screws underneath that secure the headlight from the inside. Once you disconnect the connector, you can move the headlight and pull the bulbs out from the back to replace them with new replacement parts.

After the replacement, all parts can be reassembled.
