Nissan Armada Glove Box Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 158 bulb is the glove box specification for the Nissan Armada across the majority of model years covered in these specifications, appearing in 2005-2015 and again in 2021-2024.
• The 74 bulb is the glove box specification for the 2017-2020 model years, representing a distinct period where a lower-wattage lamp was used.
• Both the 158 and 74 bulbs are ANSI-standardized miniature wedge types rated at 12 volts, making them compatible with standard automotive electrical systems.
• The 158 bulb follows the T10 wedge form factor and draws 3 watts, while the 74 bulb uses the smaller T5 wedge form factor and draws only 1.4 watts.
• The T5 and T10 designations refer to the bulb's tubular body width in eighths of an inch, meaning the T10 body is noticeably wider than the T5 body, and the two types are not physically interchangeable despite sharing the same wedge base style.
• Installing a 158 (T10) bulb in a socket designed for a 74 (T5) will result in a fitment mismatch, as the larger body will not seat correctly in the smaller housing.
• The wattage difference between the two types means a 74-to-158 substitution would also draw more than twice the current the circuit was designed to handle in 2017-2020 applications.
• Owners of 2016 Armada vehicles are not covered by these specifications, so no glove box bulb size is attributable to that year from this data.
