Feeling dumb posting this problem, but I need to replace a burnt out brake light bulb, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get inside the tail light assembly.Can someone tell me how to open this thing up so that I can replace the bulb?It's an '06 Altima.Thanks in advance.

OK, never mind. Figured it out. Thx.

Dont feel dumb. My mom has an 08 Altima and me and my dad had the same issue. If nobody post's it, i'll ask my dad in the morning and i'll tell you.

Thanks for the reply.I ended up getting the bulb changed, but I didn't do it myself.I had my Pathfinder in for service last Thursday, and when my wife came to meet me at the shop in the Altima, one of the techs offered to do it for us, while we waited...at no charge. I was fooled by the fact that there was no access to the bulbs from the trunk, and I wasn't sure how to remove the whole tail light assembly. Turned out to be really simple, and I felt like a total dork. Oh well.
