Additional Notes

The Nissan GT-R glove box uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the 158 and the 74, both classified under ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets.
The 158 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12 volts and 3 watts, while the 74 bulb is a T5 miniature wedge type rated at 12 volts and 1.4 watts. The T10 and T5 designations refer to the width of the wedge base, making the two bulbs physically incompatible with each other despite sharing the same operating voltage.
The Nissan GT-R (2009-2020) specifies the 74 bulb for the glove box position, representing the longer production span of the two fitments covered in these specifications.
The 158 bulb applies to the 2021 and 2023-2024 model years, reflecting a higher wattage output compared to the 74 bulb used in earlier years.
The wattage difference between the two bulb types is notable: the 158 draws 3 watts versus the 74's 1.4 watts, meaning the two are not interchangeable even when voltage requirements match.
Both bulb types use a wedge base, which is a baseless design where the glass envelope itself is pinched to form the retaining connection, a common format for low-intensity interior lighting positions.
