The Nissan Rogue tail light utilizes 7440 and 7443 bulb sizes depending on the specific vehicle configuration and assembly requirements for the rear illumination system. Data for the tail light bulb sizes covers the range from 2008 through 2016 for the specified vehicle.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Nissan Rogue inner tail light uses the 168 bulb across the 2014-2020 model years. This is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 4.9W, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The 7443 is the most frequently specified bulb across the Rogue tail light data. It is a T20 dual-filament wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 21W main filament and a 5W secondary filament, also conforming to ANSI standards.
The dual-filament design of the 7443 allows it to serve two lighting functions within a single bulb, which is why it is commonly used in tail light positions that combine brake and running light duties.
The 7440 is a single-filament T20 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 21W. It shares the same T20 wedge base as the 7443 but lacks the secondary filament, making the two bulbs physically similar yet functionally distinct.
Because the 7443 and 7440 share the same T20 wedge base, a 7440 can physically seat in a 7443 socket. However, substituting a 7440 for a 7443 in a dual-filament application results in the loss of one lighting function.
The Nissan Rogue (2019) outer tail light specifies the 7440, while surrounding model years specify the 7443. This represents a direct fitment difference within the same generation of the vehicle.
The 2015-2016 outer tail light data includes entries for both the 7443 and the 7440, indicating that more than one bulb type was specified for those model years in that position.
The 168 and the 7443 or 7440 are not interchangeable. The 168 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb, while the 7443 and 7440 are T20 wedge bulbs, and the two form factors use sockets of different sizes.
