Can the Taillight Cover of the Nissan Qashqai Be Replaced?
2 Answers
The taillight cover of the Nissan Qashqai can be replaced. Use a heat gun to warm the area around the taillight cover until it feels hot to the touch, then slowly pry off the cover. The function of the taillight is to alert vehicles behind of the presence of a car ahead during nighttime driving, displaying the positional relationship between the two vehicles. Taillights are installed on both sides at the rear of the car. The Nissan Qashqai measures 4315mm in length, 1783mm in width, and 1606mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm, and features front-wheel drive. In terms of exterior design, the vehicle boasts highly dynamic body lines, with a curved waistline running along the lower edge of the side windows from the front to the taillights, outlining robust lower body contours. The wide body below the waistline and the flared wheel arches create a solid SUV stance.
The tail light cover of the Qashqai can indeed be replaced separately. I once replaced it myself before. That time, I accidentally reversed into a wall, causing a crack in the cover, which scattered the light. First, I checked online tutorials to confirm that the Qashqai's tail light design allows for replacing just the cover without the entire light. Then, I bought an original cover from a Nissan parts store for a little over 100 yuan. Back home, I disconnected the battery's negative terminal for safety, removed the screws and the old cover, installed the new one, and checked if the sealing strip was tightly pressed. The whole process took a little over an hour and was quite simple, just had to be careful not to pull any wires. After the replacement, the tail light's brightness was restored, and I saved several hundred yuan in repair costs. If the damage is severe, it's advisable to assess it first to avoid water leakage affecting the internal bulbs.
