does anyone know how to remove the rear turn signals?? i think the removal of the rear bumper is needed, but i do not know how. any help will be appreciated.

 

If you are just changing bulbs it's a lot easier to pull the tail lights and reach them from the top. Tail lights pop off after removing 3x10mm bolts on each light. Are you changing to a silver bulb or leds maybe?

 

i will be changing the bulbs. but i need to remove the entire turn signal so i can smoke 'em out first.

 

no one knows how to remove the rear turn signals or the rear bumper??????????

 

its complicated actually, I removed mine...

there are 2 flaps on the bottom, they face up, between the bumper and the muffler, gotta take those 2 screws out.

then there are 2 or 3 in the tirewell, and bottom corners.

next you have to remove the tail lights, this exposes another bolt or 2 that has to come out, and these PITA white things that have to be twisted, but even with almost any tool I could want, I could not turn them, and since I was replacing the bumper, I actually had to tear the bumper to get the leverage I needed. I couldnt retwist these when I reinstalled the new bumper, luckily I did not really see any purpose to these.

then you just have a series of clips that you have to be careful with, as well as unplugging the trunk pop and combo lights before you can pull the bumper away.

all in all a pretty difficult job, and I had the shop manual, thats the only way to know where all the bolts are.

 

ares,
is there any way to remove the rear turn signals without removing the bumper? also, is it possible for you to send me a copy of that shop manual so there are diagrams that i can refer to. thanks.

hi, where can i get a copy of the manual?

 

nissan sells it, but its pricy, like 200$ or somethin

 

VandyZ says: You can get to the rear turn signals by removing the rear tail lights. There are 3 bolts and 2-3 snap in's. Once removed you can reach the rear turn signal bulbs.

 

yeah you can definitly do it, wont be easy, but definitly less invasive than removing the bumper.

taking off the tail lights is childs play, 3 easy to access 10mm bolts, and 2 clips, just pull out towards the side of the car to disengage the clips.

 

thanks. i will try to remove the bumper sometime soon. i have to remove the rear turn signals so i can smoke 'em out.
