I have a 99 I30 (bought new) and the "map" light burned out. This light is near the rear view mirror on the inside of the car roof. The bulb says 12 volts, 10 watts, made in china. the Owners manual list NO NUMBER for the bulb (it does give numbers for other bulbs) and just says 10 watts.
i have been to two parts stores with no luck, and have used the online charts like for advance auto that shows (incorrectly) a long thin bulb with two metal pointed ends. My bulb is not like that at all, but a regular round glass part with a metal base, one contact point and two side bayonet lugs like a 70s turn signal bulb.
Anyone know the bulb replacement number ?

 

I gave up on that bulb a long time ago Ended up taking the lamp housing out and sticking a LED board in each side. Now I never have to worry about it again!

 

you should be able to take the bulb to the guy at the parts counter. he should be able to help you check. i had that bulb burn out my my i30t back in the day, i wanna say it was 119 or 134 or something. 1xx for sure.

 

well if its anythin like a maxima its a DE3175
if u got on superbrightleds.com and go under car bulbs itll give u a link to another site that pretty much lists every bulb in ure car

 

the DE3175 is a long bulb with metal on both ends. My bulb is not like that nor is the bulb in the owners manual picture where it shows you how to take it all apart

 

None of the online buld books have this bulb. I took mine into radioshack and the usual car parts places and no one had a clue. Its like some type of mini twist bulb.

If your determined to replace it then check with the nissan dealer. Only down side is they are going to charge you way too much and your map light will still have that ugly yellow incadecent color to it. If you dont mind spending the time take the map light housing out and hook up some LED's.

 

try sylvania's website.

 

This is what I bought:

Thanks but that is still an 8 watt bulb (and pricy at $16 incl shipping). std is 10 watt, not 8 watt as this ad says
but thanks!

 

I guess the dealer might have one that matches OEM, I was not able to find anything at my local parts stores, or the big box stores like Autozone etc... I am perfectly happy with this one, it is VERY bright (though pricey as you say)....

 

I'm just in because I should replace mine
