2 Answers
Here are the steps to install brake lights on the X-Trail: 1. Use a Phillips screwdriver or socket to remove the bolts. 2. Pull the lamp assembly out from the rear pillar. 3. Rotate counterclockwise and remove the socket. 4. Remove the old bulb and install the new one. Additional information about the 2020 Nissan X-Trail is as follows: 1. The exterior design adopts the "Fluid Painting" concept, featuring dynamic and smooth body lines. 2. Dimensions are 4643mm*1820mm*1725mm with a wheelbase of 2706mm. 3. The front fascia features a new rounded design style. Higher trim levels come with LED high/low beam headlights and daytime running lights, with large chrome accents surrounding the oversized Nissan logo, enhancing the sense of power. 4. The body lines are more fluid and dynamic, with a cleaner rear design. The steeply raked rear window combined with the roof spoiler gives it a sporty appearance.
I just helped my neighbor replace the brake light on their X-Trail a couple of days ago, and the process was quite straightforward. Remember to first turn off the power and remove the car key, then locate the three fixing screws for the corresponding light cover from inside the trunk, using a cross-head screwdriver to unscrew them. Gently pull the entire light assembly outward, and you'll see a white plastic bulb holder inside—rotate it counterclockwise to remove it. Take out the old bulb and replace it with a new T20 specification brake light bulb, making sure the metal contacts align with the slots. Before reassembling, remember to wipe the inside of the glass cover with a tissue. Finally, reinstall everything in reverse order and test the brake light. Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb with bare hands during the whole process to prevent oil residue from shortening its lifespan.
