Additional Notes

The Nissan 510 license plate bulb specifications span model years 1968-1981, with three distinct bulb types used across that range: the 67, 89, and 1895.
The 1895 is the most frequently specified bulb in these records, covering the Nissan 510 from 1968-1973.
The 1895 is a T5 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 0.9W, making it among the lowest-wattage bulbs in this specification set.
Both the 67 and 89 bulbs share the BA15s single-contact bayonet base and are single-filament designs, which means they are physically similar in mounting style despite differing in wattage.
Although the 67 and 89 share the same base type, they are not interchangeable without consideration of wattage: the 67 draws 8W while the 89 draws 13W, a difference that can affect circuit load and socket compatibility.
The 67 and 89 are both described as lower-wattage variants of the 1156 bulb, meaning they share the BA15s bayonet base with the 1156 but operate at reduced power output.
The 1895 wedge base is physically incompatible with the BA15s bayonet sockets used by the 67 and 89, so bulbs from the 1968-1973 fitment cannot be substituted into the 1978-1981 sockets without an adapter or socket modification.
All three bulb types are ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets, indicating these specifications reflect North American market vehicles.
The 510 transitioned from the 89 to the 67 between the 1979 and 1980 model years, representing a reduction in license plate bulb wattage from 13W to 8W while retaining the same base type.
