Nissan Repair: replace taillight for 2006 nissan maxima, 2006 nissan maxima, nissan maxima

Question
I need to replace the tail light but first I need to remove the trunk lininig. HOw do I get the plugs out that hold the lining in? Also, is there anything I need to know about the tail light replacement. I bought an after market one.

Answer
Hi elliot -
the trunk plugs are snapped in. In some models there is a screwdriver (phillips) head you need to unscrew a little, and then it snaps out. When replcing, simply push it right in after you have aligned it with the hole.

The tailight replacement is relatively simple. Is this the entire assembly? If so, then simply remove the bolts from the inside, and the assembly should just come out. When replacing, don;t forget to ensure that the gaskets are seated and aligned properly, or the first rain you get, the trunk will be flooded.

Hope this helps -
aloha
