The Nissan Quest brake light utilizes unique bulb sizes 7443, 3157, 2458, 1157, and 2057 depending on the specific version. Available data covers the range from 1993 to 2017.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Nissan Quest uses four distinct brake bulb types across its production span: the 7443, 3157, 1157, 2057, and 912. All five conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The 7443 is a dual-filament T20 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 21W high filament and 5W low filament. The Nissan Quest (2011-2017) uses this type for the brake light position.
The 3157 is a dual-filament T25 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 27W high filament and 7W low filament, making it the higher-wattage wedge type in these specifications. It serves the brake light position on the Quest for model years 1999-2009.
The 1157 and 2057 both use a BAY15d bayonet base rather than a wedge mount, which makes them physically distinct from the 7443 and 3157 despite sharing the dual-filament function. Substituting a wedge-base bulb for a bayonet-base bulb, or vice versa, is not possible without an adapter.
The 2057 is a brighter variant of the 1157, rated at 26.9W/8W compared to the 1157's 21W/5W, though both share the same BAY15d base. The Quest uses the 2057 for model years 1993-1995 and 1997, and the 1157 for 1996 and 1998.
Because the 1996 and 1998 Quest models use the 1157 while surrounding years use the 2057, the two types are not interchangeable as direct replacements despite sharing the same base, given their differing wattage outputs.
The 912 is a single-filament T15 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 12W. It is a variant of the 921 type and serves exclusively as the Center High Mount Stop Light bulb on the Quest for model years 1993-2009.
The Center High Mount Stop Light position on the Quest uses only the 912 across all listed years, while the main brake light position uses different bulb types depending on the model year, indicating the two positions are not served by the same bulb at any point in these specifications.
The 7443 and 1157 share identical wattage ratings of 21W/5W at 12V, but their base types differ entirely. The 7443 uses a wedge mount while the 1157 uses a BAY15d bayonet base, making them non-interchangeable without modification.
No Center High Mount Stop Light bulb specification is listed for the 2011-2017 Quest model years, while the main brake light specification for those years calls for the 7443.
