Introdução

In this guide, we demonstrate the process of replacing a broken tail light on a Nissan 350Z. The primary function of a taillight is to create visibility for those behind you and signal what actions you are going to perform such as braking, making a turn, and backing up.

Having a broken taillight creates a hazard for others behind you and could lead to being ticketed due to the lack of visibility to your vehicle.

Before you begin the repair, make sure that your car is off and in park.

    • Hold both ends of the headlight and carefully remove the assembly.

    • You may need to use some force when pulling, as dowel pins secure it to the car.

    • You can flip the tail light over and place it in the tail light cavity so you do not have to hold it.

    • Replace the bolts and use your hand to tighten the bolt just a bit.

    • Use a ratchet with the 10 mm socket to tighten the bolts fully.

    • Avoid overtightening the bolts, as this can make it harder to remove them the next time you need to replace the tail light.
