Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preparation
To begin, make sure you have turned off the engine and removed the key from the ignition to avoid any electrical mishaps.
2. Accessing the License Plate Lights
In order to change the license plate lights, you’ll first need to access them from the rear of your Nissan Qashqai. Open the trunk or rear cargo area to gain access to the area behind the license plate.

Using a small flat-head screwdriver or a trim removal tool, gently pry off the license plate light covers. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging them.
