Default Left rear brake light is out. Quick help needed.

My left rear brake light is out as of yesterday, rest of the lights work so I wouldn't think it was a blown fuse. I've read the DIY mod for replacing tail lights. If I get the three bolts out and lens off, is it simple to replace the bulb? Does anyone know if the new bulbs are available at Autozone and what number bulb I am looking for? Any help would be great because I have never done this. Money is tight and I do not want to take it to Nissan.

R you kidding? You read the diy but still cant figure out how to change a bulb...A lil advice if money is an issue take the time to learn about your car especially to avoid labor charges. I'm assuming u bought used research your car or your gonna have some hard times ahead if your not mechanically inclined you should of bought a honda or toyota not a performance car which in some cases needs more maintenance. Your car is gonna need a lot of lil things to be changed so do your self a favor take a little time to search it will save you in the end.

Woah there... Yes, I read the DIY to change tail lights to an LED light, just wanted to make sure I didn't have an extra surprise when I got them off as the DIY ends. I've already installed my own intake, exhaust, head unit etc. No I am not mechanically inclined and I've owed this Z for two years. Thanks for being an ******* and offering no help at all.

The brake light is a #7443 and should be available at Autozone for a couple dollars.

I just replaced my '03 right rear tail light, and I shopped around for the best prices on bulbs in my town (Autozone/PepBoys) and guess what? The cheapest deal was from Nissan!
