Recently our Nissan Versa's blinker went out. You can tell that it goes out because when you select the blinker (ie: left turn signal) it will blink really fast. You can double check which is the bad light by arming or disarming the car to see which light does not go on (or selecting the blinker and looking at it from the outside).
As with any project, make sure you have a manual to make sure you are doing it properly and do your research. Keep in mind that we aren't professionals.
First things first... Open the hood. Pull the hood lever (second lever under the dash on the driver's side).
The hood prop is on the top of the hood when you lift it up.
There is a plastic piece blocking the blinker light.
It will be held down by a bunch of plastic clips. Carefully pry it off with a slim screwdriver. I think there were like 10 or so of them.
This is what the clip looks like when it is removed.
After removing the plastic piece look for the plug. To remove it turn it counter-clockwise.
This is the bad bulb. To remove the bulb, push it in and turn it. It is spring loaded so it will come out easily when you push/turn it correctly.
This is the replacement light. Replace it in the reverse order that you removed everything.
This was a pretty easy fix and its a good thing we didn't need to top off any of the blinker fluid as I hadn't picked any up prior to removing parts.
