Additional Notes

The Nissan Versa map light uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the 904 for 2021-2024 and the 12961 for 2013-2017 and 2019.
Both the 904 and 12961 are T10 miniature wedge bulbs operating at 12 volts, placing them in the same broad physical family of small interior lighting components.
Despite sharing the T10 form factor, the two bulbs differ in wattage. The 904 draws 8 watts, while the 12961 draws 5 watts, meaning they are not electrically identical.
The 904 is designated under the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada, whereas the 12961 carries a Philips part number, reflecting a manufacturer-specific designation rather than a universal standard.
The 12961 specifies a W2.1x9.5d wedge base, a designation that describes the base width and pin spacing of the wedge-type connection used in the socket.
Because the 904 and 12961 differ in wattage despite sharing a T10 profile, substituting one for the other across generation boundaries carries a risk of incompatibility with the original socket or circuit design of the Nissan Versa.
