Altima Tail Light Buying Guide (2016–2017)

The 5th gen’s final two years

The 2016–2017 Altima is the tail end of the 5th generation (L33) — the same generation that carried through 2018. Fitment is consistent across the 5th generation, but the 2019 redesign introduced Nissan’s signature boomerang LED tail lights and a completely new assembly. 2019+ lamps will not fit your car.

Year Range Generation Tail Light Notes
2016–2017 5th gen (L33) Incandescent standard; LED on upper trims; shared fitment with 2013–2018

The commuter’s rear-ender pattern

The Altima is a highway commuter — and highway commuting means stop-and-go pileups and parking-lot taps. Single-side tail lamp replacement is the most common Altima lighting repair. Order just the damaged side for your generation.

Incandescent vs. LED

2016–2017 Altimas came with incandescent tail lamps as standard, with LED units on upper trims. Replacing like-for-like is simplest — mixing technologies side to side looks wrong at night.

Checklist before ordering

  • Model year — 2016–2017 only; 2019+ is the 6th gen and does not interchange.
  • Incandescent or LED — match your factory setup.
  • Side — driver, passenger, or matched pair.

All orders ship from within Canada with 30-day returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these tail lights fit my 2019 Altima?

No. The 2019 redesign brought the signature boomerang LED tail lights. Only 5th-generation (2013–2018) assemblies fit your 2016–2017.

Will 2018 Altima tail lights fit my 2016?

Yes — the 2018 is the same 5th generation (L33) with identical tail lamp fitment.

Are LED tail lights available for the 2016–2017 Altima?

Upper trims came with LED tail lamps from the factory. Match your trim’s factory spec for a direct bolt-in.

Someone tapped my bumper and cracked one lens. Do I need the pair?

No — order just the damaged side. Consider the pair only if the surviving lamp is heavily faded.
