Nissan 1200 front and rear side marker bulbs utilize a 97 bulb size. The replacement chart covers 1971 to 1973 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Nissan 1200 uses the 97 bulb for both front and rear side marker positions across the 1971-1973 model years.
The 97 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type recognized in the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a 13-watt output.
It uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact fitting where the pin on the bulb base aligns with a single slot in the socket.
The 97 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function rather than combining two, such as running and braking, into one unit.
The 97 is a variant of the 1156 bulb type, though the two are not necessarily interchangeable despite sharing the BA15s base, as wattage and voltage ratings may differ between variants.
Because the Nissan 1200 uses the same bulb size for both front and rear side marker positions, the 97 bulb serves all four side marker sockets on the vehicle.
