The 1998 Nissan Maxima was equipped with some of the best tail lights available at the time. They were large, bright, and very visible from a distance. Unfortunately, they were also susceptible to problems that could cause them to malfunction.
The most common issue was that the bulbs would burn out prematurely. This could be due to a number of factors, including incorrect installation, excessive vibration, or simply a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the entire tail light assembly would need to be replaced.
If you are in the market for a new car or just looking to upgrade your current ride, one of the best options out there is the 1998 Nissan Maxima. This vehicle comes standard with a number of features that are sure to impress, including LED tail lights.

1998 Nissan Maxima Tail Light Bulb
If you need to replace the tail light bulb on your 1998 Nissan Maxima, here’s how. First, open the trunk and locate the taillight assembly. There are two screws that hold the assembly in place – remove these with a Phillips head screwdriver.
Once the screws are removed, pull the assembly out far enough so that you can reach behind it and unplug the electrical connector.
Now, twist the bulb socket counterclockwise to loosen and remove it from the housing. Pull the old bulb out of the socket and insert a new one – be sure that it is seated firmly before twisting the socket back into place.
Reconnect the electrical connector and reattach the taillight assembly to its original position with the screws. Close up the trunk and you’re all set!

How Do I Replace a Burnt-Out Tail Light on My 1998 Nissan Maxima
Assuming you have a 1998 Nissan Maxima:
Removing the burnt out tail light on your 1998 Nissan Maxima is a pretty simple process. You’ll just need a screwdriver and a replacement bulb.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Start by opening the trunk of your car. There are usually two latches inside the trunk, one on each side.
Once both latches are released, the trunk lid should open easily.
2. Locate the taillight assembly that needs to be replaced. On the 1998 Maxima, there are two bolts holding the assembly in place.
Use your screwdriver to remove these bolts and set them aside.
3. Carefully pull out the old taillight assembly and unplug the electrical connector from it.
4. Take your new taillight assembly and connect the electrical connector to it before inserting it into place in the vehicle.
Make sure that it is seated properly before proceeding to the next step.
5 Re-insert the two bolts that you removed in Step 2 and tighten them down with your screwdriver until they’re snug but not too tight – you don’t want to strip them out! Close up your trunk and test out your new taillight by turning on your car’s headlights (with someone else standing behind you to verify that it’s working).
