I forgot to say - the altima is a 2002. Hope you guys can help!
1. Remove the black plastic clip located at the top rear of the trunk that
is holding the trunk liner in place. Use a flat-blade screwdriver in the
slot and turn. The retainer will separate about 1/8 inch. Then pull it out.
2. Slide the nylon wire straps off the two bolt threads extending into the
trunk.
3. Using a 5/16" spintite (or a 5/16" endwrench if tight),
remove the two nuts from the bolts.
4. Taillight assembly now can be removed. Turn bulb-holder CCW to access
bulb and turn bulb CCW to remove.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
