The Nissan Versa parking light requires a 3457NA bulb size for the specific lighting component located on the exterior of the vehicle. Data for the bulb covers the range from 2013 to 2019.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The front parking light specifications for the Nissan Versa span the 2013-2023 model years, with four distinct bulb types appearing across that range: 7444NA, 12961, 3457, and 3457NA.
The 3457NA is the most frequently specified bulb across this range, covering the 2013-2019 model years. It is an ANSI-standard dual-filament wedge bulb in the T25 form factor, rated at 12V with a 27W high filament and 7W low filament, and features natural amber glass.
The natural amber glass on the 3457NA produces an amber output without the need for an amber lens, which is a design consideration relevant to vehicles with clear or white parking light housings.
The 2020 model year uses the 3457, which shares the same T25 form factor, dual-filament design, and 12V/27W/7W electrical ratings as the 3457NA but lacks the natural amber glass coating.
The 2021 model year uses the 12961, a Philips-designated miniature single-filament wedge bulb in the T10 form factor with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W. This represents a significant reduction in wattage compared to the T25 bulbs used in surrounding model years.
The 2022-2023 model years use the 7444NA, a dual-filament T20 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 21W high filament and 5W low filament, also featuring natural amber glass. The T20 form factor is physically distinct from both the T25 and T10 types used in earlier Versa model years.
The T25, T20, and T10 designations refer to the outer width of the wedge base, expressed in millimeters multiplied by a factor, meaning these bulbs are not physically interchangeable with one another despite some sharing similar voltage ratings.
The shift from T25 dual-filament bulbs through a T10 single-filament bulb and then to a T20 dual-filament bulb across the 2019-2022 span indicates that the front parking light assembly underwent changes requiring different bulb specifications across those model years of the Nissan Versa.
