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

Also see: 
* Lamp Wiring
* Headlight Wiring

Headlights

Both Koito and Ichiko (IKI) were original equipment.

NOTE: Large round (7") headlights from *any* 
car will fit the Datsun 1200.

B110, B210, and round-headlight B310 all use the same parts.
19577.jpg

RHD vs LHD

The left side and right side headlamps are the same - each car uses two of the same headlights. However, RHD (right hand drive) pattern is reversed from LHD - the lens pattern and high cutout is on opposite sides. If you fit RHD headlights in a LHD country or vice versa, it will blind oncoming traffic. So when importing cars, change the headlights to the locally approved type. Or you could fit tape to the lights as is done for visiting cars in Europe.

Rectangular Head Lamp

Square Headlights were IKI supplied. B122 starting in October 1989 uses square headlights.

NOTE: These appear to be same as B310 square headlights with buckets swapped left/right. But the adjuster screws and grommets are different.

Australia

Headlight Globe Assembly Round 7" (178mm) 12V
* 75/50W SB7019 sealed beam
* 110/95W Hansa FH6014 - LHD?
Semi-sealed Beam with park light opening 
* 200mm x 142mm Large Rectangular Sealed Beam 
* 85/65W Hansa EL07817 

North America

Head Lamp LHD - North America specification
26705-89905 UNIT-SEALED BEAM (KOITO)
26705-89925 UNIT-SEALED BEAM (ICHIKO) <> 26705-04201

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.

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):


th_00_cover.jpg th_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 Lamps

See main article: Side Lamps

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.
