Additional Notes

The Nissan 810 uses two bulb types across its model years for the license plate position: the 67 and the 89, both of which are ANSI standards recognized in the US and Canada.
The 67 bulb appears in the 1977-1978 and 1980-1981 model years of the Nissan 810, making it the more frequently specified of the two types across this vehicle's production run.
The 89 bulb is specific to the 1979 model year, setting it apart from the surrounding years that use the 67.
Both the 67 and the 89 operate on a 12-volt system and share the BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact base type that uses a 15mm barrel with a single locating pin on the side.
Despite sharing the same base type, the 67 and the 89 are not interchangeable without consideration of wattage, as the 67 draws 8 watts while the 89 draws 13 watts.
Both bulbs are single-filament types, meaning each serves a fixed, non-switchable function rather than supporting multiple brightness levels.
The 67 and the 89 are described as lower wattage variants of the 1156 bulb, which shares the same BA15s base but operates at a higher wattage, typically around 26.9 watts.
