My 99 I30 map light (Nissan calls it a personal light - it is right above the center console, on the roof by the rear view mirror)- burned out. The manual calls it a 10 watt bulb- manual gives NO bulb number. There is no number on the bulb. I have been to two parts houses and they have trouble matching the bulb
Anyone know the replacement bulb number?

 

when I look it up in the online parts lists on line two bulbs show up
1. a long thin bulb with pointed metal cones at opposite ends
and
2. a short fat bulb with no metal just two exposed wire connectors on a flat glass end.
My bulb (OE) is a round bulb with a metal base with two bayonet studs on opposite sides like 70s turn signal bulbs.
Anyone have an idea why the books show the wrong bulb?

 

It helps if you post this in the right forum, your not going to get any answer posting this in Dealer and Vendor feedback. Moved to the 4th gen forum where it belongs. :

 

the first bulb is 3157 i can't remember if thare's any letters in front of the number. idk what # the second one is. if you call a dealership parts dept they can give you a part # or you can get the bulb from them.

 

sorry about the wrong forum.

My dealership tells me my valve cover is leaking - its not I inspected it with a flashlight!
