How to Replace the Third Light on a 2000 Nissan Altima

Replacing the bulb in the high mount taillight on the rear of your 2000 Nissan Altima can help to prevent a rear end collision. It allows following drivers to notice your braking sooner. The high mount brake light contains two 921 bulbs and replacements are at any auto parts store, department store or the dealer. Changing the bulbs will only take a couple minutes and does not require tools.

Instructions

    1

    Climb into the back seat of your Altima and locate the third brake light housing on the rear package deck. Grasp the edges of the third brake light assembly and push it toward the rear of the car using light, even pressure. Do not push so hard that you break the glass.

    2

    Lift up on the housing, removing it from the rear deck. There are wires under the housing so do not pull it to far out or you will damage the wiring.

    3

    Turn the housing so you can access the bulbs and pull them straight out of the sockets. Install new 21 bulbs.

    4

    Position the light housing, pushing it slightly forward and down and slide it back. The housing will lock in place.
