Introduzione
For many of us who have purchased a Nissan Sentra to save gas or money on a car, there are also times when our vehicles need replacements or upgrades due to accidents or normal wear and tear. However, it might cost more to get someone else to do it, so it's better to do it ourselves while keeping the roads safe. This guide helps you replace a broken or damaged 2012 Nissan Sentra rear taillight, specifically the driver's side rear taillight. It requires the use of at least 1 tool and is easy to do; however you will need to order a new taillight online or in-store that corresponds to the 2012 Nissan Sentra. Be aware of small parts that can be dangerous to children, and be cautious of the electrical wires involves that might be damaged depending on your situation.
Before beginning, place your car in park, power off the ignition, and engage the parking brake.
