Nissan 210 front and rear side marker bulbs utilize 158, 67, and 97 size specifications. The replacement chart covers 1979 through 1982 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Nissan 210 uses three distinct bulb types across its front and rear side marker positions for the 1979-1982 model years: the 158, 67, and 97.
The 158 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3W, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets. Its wedge base design means it requires no separate socket retainer, as the bulb body itself locks into the housing.
The 67 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 8W. It is classified as a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb family, sharing the same base type but drawing less power.
The 97 is also a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 13W. It is a variant of the 1156 and draws more wattage than the 67, making the two bulbs electrically incompatible as direct substitutes despite sharing the same base type.
The 67 and 97 share the BA15s bayonet base, which means they are physically interchangeable in terms of fitment. However, their wattage ratings differ, and substituting one for the other would alter the electrical load on the circuit.
The 158 wedge base is physically incompatible with the BA15s bayonet sockets used by the 67 and 97, so no cross-substitution is possible between the T10 wedge and the bayonet-base bulbs in the Nissan 210.
For the 1982 Nissan 210, both the front and rear side marker positions use the 158 bulb. The same applies to the 1980 model year, making the 158 the bulb type associated with two of the four listed years.
The 1981 Nissan 210 uses the 67 bulb in both the front and rear side marker positions, while the 1979 model uses the 97 in both positions. In each of these years, the front and rear positions share an identical bulb specification.
All three bulb types listed, the 158, 67, and 97, conform to ANSI standards applicable to both the United States and Canadian markets.
The wattage across the three bulb types ranges from 3W for the 158 to 13W for the 97, reflecting a significant difference in power consumption between the wedge-type and the higher-output bayonet-base variants used across the model years.
