been searching around on several forums and can't seem to find an answer....so please forgive me if this has been asked.

My right passenger tail light doesn't come on during breaking...but does stay on during normal driving.... I want to replace the bulb to see if that will fix it...

anyone know if I can replace just the bulb...or do I need to replace the entire assembly.

I have an 03 Max SE

thanks

Welcome to NICO!

You should be able to twist the harness connector for the bulb and remove/replace it without too much trouble. Check this link for the applicable replacement bulb. http://www.moodym.com/maxima/t....html

By looking at the daigram, and my owners manual, I would say it's #5. The bulb is a T20, or Sylvania 7443 BP. Hope that helps!!!
