Lamps, lights. Parking lights, running lights. Whatever you call them, Datsun 1200s have them.

Headlights

Large round headlights from *any* car will fit. These are type 6012/6014 for a two-headlight system (a single large round headlight on each side of the car). These are "dual beam" lights (two-filament), encompassing both regular and high-beam in the same light.

Overview

Note that the original specification 6012 headlamp is only 50W/40W. You can substitute the brighter 6014 which is 60W/50W. Type 6015 is a longer-life bulb, but more expensive.

USA 1972 Owners manual (see page 36 for headlight specification):


00_cover.jpg 36.jpg

Alternatively, and recommended, H6024 (65W/35W) is a halogen replacement. Halogen is a brighter light, and now available in shades of blue, gold, white. Street-legal in USA.

The brighter 6014 is as inexpensive as $3. See RockAuto headlights for Datsun 1200

Type Spec. Comments
6012 50/40 watt Original spec.
6014 60/50 watt replaces 6012
H6014 60/50 watt Halogen
6015 60/50 watt long-life
H6024 65/35 watt Halogen
H6024 XV 65/55 watt Extra-bright, long life

Side Lights

  • Side lamps come in two sizes: small and large

Side lamps are larger on North American models, also the fenders come with a larger hole to match. Euro/Asia guards/wings can be used on America 1200s, if the hole is enlarged.

See main article: Side Lamps

Front Lights

  • Front running light lenses are either all-orange or white + orange

Later GLs used a different taillight:

Possibly it was the same as Coupe or PB110, but with a different trim surround:

Rear License Plate Lamp

For USA market, the rear number plate light changed in 1973 to meet higher government standards of illuminating the plate.
