The Nissan B210 front and rear side marker bulbs both utilize a 97 bulb size. The replacement chart covers 1973 to 1978 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Nissan B210 uses the 97 bulb for both the front and rear side marker positions across the 1973-1978 model years.
The 97 is an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a 13-watt output.
It is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function rather than combining two, such as running and braking, into a single unit.
The 97 uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet mount. The "s" in BA15s denotes a single contact pin, as opposed to the dual-contact BA15d variant.
The 97 is classified as a variant of the 1156 bulb. While the two share the BA15s base type, they differ in wattage, so they are not directly interchangeable in all applications despite the shared base configuration.
Because the Nissan B210 uses the same bulb size for all four side marker positions, front and rear, a single bulb type services the entire side marker system on the vehicle.
