12 years down the road and i now own a pre loved Tiida... Thank you for this video, it helped so much, one thing i did different (if anybody cares)...i used a smaller socket over the threads of the bolts after i took the nuts off, and gave a slight tap, this knocked the housing out easily. Thanks again.
As someone said earlier, thanks for restoring my faith in people. Thanks for taking the time to show this, as I would have seriously struggled to work it out for myself.
I used your video as reference for replacing a brake light on my 2008 Versa hatchback. I used a piece of packing tape to catch the bottom nut. Almost thought I couldn't do it because I don't have a socket wrench, but I managed to get it loose with some flat nosed pliers and once it was loose I turned it with my fingers and the tape until it came off. I would have DEFINITELY broken that top clip if I hadn't watched your video first! Thanks for an awesome tutorial!
It is amazing that a person would take their personal time to make a video to help others. I would have definitely broken the light cover. You saved me time and money with your video. GOD Bless and Thank you !!!!
Thank you so much struggled with getting the lens off for 30 minutes before I decided CZcams might have the answer. Took 3 seconds after I watched your video!!
Oh. My. God. You have no idea how many times I tried to figure out how to replace my light. One light! I couldn't figure it, to top that off, the "Owner's Manual" is a joke. Thank you very much. I will be doing this later today.
Great Demo. I was a lil pissed when I checked my girls owner manual. It said nothing but to take it to a dealer. Why? 6 bucks for a pair of bulbs and the dealership charges 30-50 bucks for labor! Took me only 15 minutes after I watched this video. The people that disliked this video must be mechanics!!!
Thank you thank you! Don't laugh -I'm being serious- but stuff like this makes me feel better about humanity; there are people willing to take time out of their busy days to make a video, solely to help other people. Thank you so much!!
This made changing my brake light easy. The hardest part was getting off the nut closest to the door latch because of it's straight on positioning and the fact that a standard socket wrench has too shallow of a depth to accommodate the bolt end. I was really glad to have had the explanation of the points of attachment and got the actual light housing off and on in a snap.
Thanks so much for this video. It really helped me out today when replacing the tail light in my versa. Your video highlighted just the right parts of the process.
After watching the video it made the job a lot easier. The total job took only ten minutes. Removing the lens from the clip was a snap after seeing this video. One suggestion, if you don't have a magnetic wrench or socket you can always use a small pair of needle nose pliers to securely remove the lower bolt. Thank you again.
I never could have done it without the video. I can't express how wonderful it is that you took the time to make this it to help us who are less mechanical! It only took me about 10 minutes. I needed to use a socket for one of the nuts, after my first attempt with the regular wrench wasn't successful. I was able to get the nuts on and off without dropping them, but thanks for the heads up to be extra careful. Another suggestion is to test that the new light is working before you reassemble.
This is fantastic for you to do this. I finally struck up the nerve to buy tools at the hardware store and if it wasn't for the rain I'd probably have this done by now. It was a little difficult to get the nuts off my versa though. I used a 10mm deep socket attachment along with an extender.
Thank you so much. My passenger brake light keeps going out. You rule! Tired of paying jiffy lube and other mechanics 10-20 dollars to change the bulb.
Thank you, because of this video I was able to go outside right away and get both of my brake lights replaced in under 15 minutes:-) I got pulled over twice this last 3 days for both my right and left brake lights not working. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore :-)
Thank you so much! There are some other video clips that are not accurate. I had given up on changing the light bulb myself but now I know how to do it!
Very useful, followed your way, I also replaced the bulb easily, thank you. The two lock nut were a little bit tricky, need two different M10 wrench and deep socket.
Glad I was able to find this instructions. I swapped a stop light bulb on a 2008 Nissan Versa and what I would like to add is the hand push method to remove the light unit did not work for me, but a simple trick with a nylon rope (you get for free at your hw store) would work much better. The light unit at its tip point is designed with a small groove perhaps to use this method in the shop - just loop the nylon rope around and pull back as you also gently pull out on the trunk side end :-)
thank you very much. you saved me sooo much time and perhaps some parts that might have been destroyed in the process as well. i had to replace my wife's brake light. if anyone has a problem finding 1077 bulb for the stop light, 1034 is a perfect match.
good one, made me take a closer look, found one nut but the other was hidden by a wiring harness anchor point off the second screw which I thought was part of the body. Many thanks.
Thanks a lot buddy for the anchor points, i wouldn't have known. I pushed open the light box just the way you showed and it worked. For other people i would like to inform that you could be using all of your energy to open the box but don't worry this is the way it is made.
A thousand thanks for this very very helpful video! I didn't have the tools so I took my car to a mechanic and walked him through everything, which made the whole job take less than 5 minutes...he was so impressed that he didn't even charge me! (PS. Mine is a 2012 Versa hatchback and all the instructions here apply just fine, unlike what one commenter claimed.)
+Zorba Greekthe --- followup: the original brake light that went out was my left...a few months later, the right side brake light went out, and I had it fixed. Another few months later, the right side brake light went out AGAIN, wtf? There must be some sort of electrical issue going on with this damned car.
Just followed your excellent video and replaced the tail/stop globe in our Nissan Tiida (same car in Australia) Thank you very much. Used an open ended spanner on the top nut and a tube spanner on the bottom one.
My friend has this kind of problem with her nissan versa. now I have an idea how to help her to change te stop light bulb....the funny thing we never did any thing like this before. I hope that two women can do something right. Thank you.
Thank you out of all the videos I saw your was outstanding it told me how to get to the bulb all the others just told how to change the bulb outstanding job
Thanks for the video! it was super easy! Last time I took it to the dealer to change a bulb they scratch the paint. Better to do it yourself if you have time.
Perfect, worked for my 2012 versa also. Thank you for posting, wish I would've found this before accidentally snapping some of the cheap plastic interior pieces while trying to figure it out on my own...
Thank you for posting this instruction. I tried to grip the light as you said but it was too tight to move. I was able to get it to slide by putting duct tape to cover the end of my big flat head screw driver an putting into into the gap at pointed end of the left side of the light near the underneath slide. I push the light with the screw driver toward the rear of the car and the light popped out of the slide and I was able to remove the light The service manual I have was not very helpful.
Thank you for the instruction video. I noticed that the owner's manual gave no help at all, except for listing the bulb identification, and indicating that the assembly would have to be removed.
Thanks for the video. Even with knowing that anchor point it was still a bear to get off. Of course if I didn't know where it was I would have probably cracked the casing.

Very, Very much appreciated! Always glad when kind people on the internet provide tips to make life's experiences much easier...
Thanks for posting this article, it saved me valuable time, which I was able to spend with my granddaughter.
Thanks for this tutorial. I need to check my brake lights and this video saved me tons of time!

I did it! And no huge bill from the dealer for a dyi job. Thank you for your guidance that made this a success!

So true...taking a little time is helping so many of us.

Hi,why 2 differents wrenchs?
Super helpful, nothing else described how to slid that housing off! Was ready to start prying it off!

Thanks for the video! Just changed my bulb - I would never have known how to get to it since the manual was no help. Great Job!
thank you very much. you saved me sooo much time and perhaps some parts that might have been destroyed in the process as well. i had to replace my wife's brake light. if anyone has a problem finding 1077 bulb for the stop light, 1034 is a perfect match.

I hear you, Juan...could not figure this thing out! Glad to have great instruction from this video...
Just followed your excellent video and replaced the tail/stop globe in our Nissan Tiida (same car in Australia) Thank you very much. Used an open ended spanner on the top nut and a tube spanner on the bottom one.
Thanks a lot ! All the respect for all the people that are doing these kind of videos !
Thanks, man. Simple and easy to follow.
Much appreciated.
Thanks -- saved me a bunch of time and, quite possibly, having to replace a number of more expensive parts!
after watching this video it took me 15 mins to change the light
thx
My friend has this kind of problem with her nissan versa. now I have an idea how to help her to change te stop light bulb....the funny thing we never did any thing like this before. I hope that two women can do something right. Thank you.
Thanks! Worked for me. Had some difficulty for putting back. But after aligning top screw all good. Whole process took less than 10 minutes.
Thank you much! Showed this to the mechanics as they were working on it because the cover got stuck.
Thank you out of all the videos I saw your was outstanding it told me how to get to the bulb all the others just told how to change the bulb outstanding job
Thanks for the video! it was super easy! Last time I took it to the dealer to change a bulb they scratch the paint. Better to do it yourself if you have time.
Saved my bacon a couple of days ago. Thank you for taking the time and video this. Thank you!
Thanks man, after a long day of work my daughter asked me to do this. Would likely have taken a while for me to figure it...
Thanks for the video. I had managed to remove the 2 nuts, but after that, didn't knew how to remove light assembly.
Laurence White hi I have also Nissan tiida hatchback wanna talk to you about car plz WhatsApp me 00923219255320
very good, all the detail demonstrated to do it right
Just did this on my daughter’s 2009. Excellent video - thank you so much.
Thanks now I'm going to change the drivers side brake light in my wife's 2012 Versa.
Thank you! Very informative. I was able to complete the change in 10 minutes!
Great video - thanks so much. I, being totally unmechanically minded had no idea how to do this. TY
Thanks so much! You made it easy and saved me from cracking my tail light!
Perfect, worked for my 2012 versa also. Thank you for posting, wish I would've found this before accidentally snapping some of the cheap plastic interior pieces while trying to figure it out on my own...
Thank you,,, I don't speak Japanese but I do a lot of American work
Great video! Thanks. The light design is stupid. It's very difficult to unscrew the lower nut. A special long head is required.
Thank you very much for this upload. You helped me out a lot!
Thank you for your video! I was able to get this done in a few minutes on my own :-)
Thanks for taking the time to make this video,it helped a lot.
This was a tremendous help.... thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Thank you for the instruction video. I noticed that the owner's manual gave no help at all, except for listing the bulb identification, and indicating that the assembly would have to be removed.
Thankyou so much! im replacing my backlights with LEDs and this helps so much
thanks for the advice it help me a lot ..thanks for taking time to share your video
Thank you--It was the same setup for my 2012 Versa...sure did help! :)

Thank you! This video is great. Works on 2009 Nissan Versa, too.
