MG Midget front and rear side marker bulbs utilize a 1895 bulb size across both positions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1969 to 1979.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The MG Midget uses the 1895 bulb for both front and rear side markers across the 1969-1979 model years.
The 1895 is classified as a T5 miniature wedge bulb, a form factor defined by a tubular glass envelope roughly 5/8 of an inch wide with a wedge-style base that requires no separate socket retainer.
The 1895 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 0.9 watts, placing it among the lowest-wattage bulbs in the automotive miniature bulb family.
The 1895 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning its electrical and physical tolerances are governed by a standardized specification rather than a proprietary one.
Because the same bulb number applies to both the front and rear side marker positions on the MG Midget, a single bulb type services all four side marker locations on the vehicle.
The wedge base of the 1895 is not interchangeable with bayonet-base or screw-base miniature bulbs, even when those alternatives share a similar wattage or voltage rating.
At 0.9 watts, the 1895 produces a low light output suited to the passive visibility function of a side marker lamp rather than an active illumination role such as a headlamp or brake lamp.
