2011 Pathfinder - Tailgate panel removal

Postby bhamdawgfan » Mon Jul 10, 2017 12:55 pm

Does anyone know where I can find useful instructions to remove the back tailgate panel? I need to replace my tag lights and can't find any helpful information anywhere.

You shouldn't need to on 2008 and later. Remove the Phillips head screw with a long Phillips head screwdriver and slide the license plate lamp to the side and then pull the lamp out to replace the #194 bulb. I have both a 2006 and 2008. Pre-2008, you had to remove the rear hatch panel.

Ditto.. recently changed my tag lights over to LED and just used a screwdriver to get up in there. Took a little time and care but much easier than removing the panels I'm sure.
