Additional Notes

The Nissan Sentra trunk uses the 158 bulb across the widest span of model years covered in these specifications, from 1993 to 2021.
The 158 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3W, conforming to the ANSI standard for the US and Canadian markets.
The 194 bulb was used in the Nissan Sentra trunk for the 1988-1992 model years. It shares the same T10 miniature wedge form factor as the 158 but draws slightly more power at 3.78W.
Although the 158 and 194 share the T10 wedge base and are physically interchangeable in many sockets, their wattage ratings differ, which is a relevant consideration when substituting one for the other.
The 1982-1987 Sentra trunk used the DE3022, a festoon-type bulb with a 31mm length and end-cap contacts, rated at 12V under the ANSI standard.
The DE3022 festoon bulb is physically distinct from the T10 wedge bulbs used in later model years. The two bulb types use different socket designs and are not interchangeable.
All three bulb types specified across these model years operate at 12V, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
