I have found that the license plate light from a 2001 xterra works just like the one that was in the bumper. I had the same problem , no one could get one , junk yards didn;t have one. As I was walking pass my daughters xterra I notice it looked the same, so I got one and it fits. Hope this helps. RichTrying to get my truck through inspection here in Germany. Any one know where I can find the housing for the license plate light(snaps into the bumper)? I've looked everywhere online and can't find one new. Local Nissan dealer says they can't get it. There are no local junkyards with any D21's around here(since there are only a handful of them in Germany). Thanks, Scott
