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

Contents

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.

Front Lights

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

Reportedly the lamp housing is different so that you cannot simply swap lenses.
