The Nissan NV2500 brake light uses 3157 and 2458 bulb sizes for the rear lighting components. Data for the specified vehicle covers the period from 2012 through 2021.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Nissan NV2500 uses two distinct bulb types across its brake lighting system: the 3157 for the standard brake lights and the 921 for the Center High Mount Stop Light.
Both the 3157 and 921 are ANSI-standardized bulb types recognized across the United States and Canada, meaning they conform to a shared North American specification framework.
The 3157 is a dual-filament bulb, which allows it to serve two separate brightness levels within a single housing. In brake light applications, the higher 27W filament activates under braking, while the lower 7W filament typically handles a secondary function such as a tail light circuit.
The 3157 follows the T25 wedge form factor and operates at 12V, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The 921 is a single-filament wedge bulb in the T15 form factor, rated at 12V and 16W. Its lower wattage reflects its role in the Center High Mount Stop Light, which is a supplemental brake signal rather than a primary lamp.
The 3157 and 921 are physically distinct bulb types with different form factors, T25 and T15 respectively, and the two are not interchangeable with each other.
The Nissan NV2500 uses the 3157 bulb for its standard brake lights across the 2012-2021 model years, and the 921 for the Center High Mount Stop Light across the same span.
