Additional Notes

The T10 (158) bulb is a miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 3W under the ANSI standard for the US and Canada market. Its higher wattage relative to the T5 reflects a physically larger lamp body.
The T5 (74) bulb is also a miniature wedge type but operates at 12V and 1.4W under the same ANSI standard. The lower wattage corresponds to a smaller form factor intended for compact illumination spaces.
The Nissan Kicks uses two distinct glove box bulb sizes across its production years, with the 74 (T5) fitted in 2018-2020 models and the 158 (T10) fitted in 2023-2024 models.
The T5 and T10 designations refer to the outer width of the bulb envelope in units of one-eighth of an inch, making the T10 noticeably wider than the T5. The two types are not interchangeable despite sharing the same wedge base style.
Both bulb types use a wedge base, meaning the electrical contacts are formed by the glass pinch at the base of the bulb rather than by separate metal pins or a bayonet cap. However, the socket housing for a T10 is sized differently than that for a T5, preventing cross-fitment.
The wattage difference between the 74 and 158 bulbs is significant in the context of low-voltage automotive circuits. Installing a 3W bulb in a socket designed for a 1.4W bulb could place unintended load on the circuit, while the reverse may result in a poor physical fit.
