Additional Notes

The Nissan NX license plate bulb specifications cover the 1991-1993 model years, with two different bulb sizes listed across that range.
The 1991-1992 Nissan NX uses the type 67 bulb, while the 1993 model year requires the type 89 bulb, making the two bulbs non-interchangeable despite sharing several physical and electrical characteristics.
Both the 67 and 89 are ANSI-standardized bulbs recognized in the US and Canadian markets.
Each bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact base type where a single pin aligns the bulb into its socket with a twist-lock motion.
Both bulbs carry a single filament, which is typical for non-directional lighting functions such as license plate illumination.
Both the 67 and 89 operate at 12 volts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The primary distinction between the two bulbs is wattage. The type 67 is rated at 8W, while the type 89 is rated at 13W, making the 89 a higher-output bulb within the same base family.
Both bulbs are described as lower wattage variants of the 1156, meaning they share the BA15s base with the 1156 but draw less power and produce less output, which affects direct substitution compatibility.
