Nissan Stanza Dome Light Bulb Size

The Nissan Stanza dome light requires bulb size DE3175 or 158 depending on the specific configuration of the interior lighting component. Data for the lighting specifications covers the range from 1982 through 1992.

The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.

Additional Notes

The Nissan Stanza dome light specifications cover model years 1982-1992, with two distinct bulb types appearing across that span.
The DE3175 is the dominant bulb type across these specifications, appearing in eight of the nine model years listed.
The DE3175 is a festoon-style bulb measuring 31mm in length with end-cap contacts, operating at 12 volts. Its festoon design means the bulb bridges two contact points at either end rather than using a wedge or bayonet base.
The 158 bulb is a miniature wedge type, classified under the T10 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 3 watts. A wedge base relies on the glass envelope itself being pinched to form the base, with no separate metal cap.
The DE3175 and the 158 are both ANSI-standardized bulbs for the US and Canadian markets, meaning they conform to defined dimensional and electrical standards within those regions.
The 1989 Nissan Stanza uses the 158 wedge bulb rather than the DE3175 festoon type used in surrounding model years, indicating a difference in the dome light socket design for that year.
Because the DE3175 and the 158 use fundamentally different base types, festoon versus wedge, they are not interchangeable with one another regardless of voltage compatibility.
The 1988 and 1990 Nissan Stanza both specify the DE3175, flanking the 1989 model year that uses the 158, which reflects a socket-level difference isolated to that year.
