Acura NSX 1997 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This page helps you find the right bulb sizes for the 1997 Acura NSX by lighting position, so you can verify each exterior and interior lamp before you buy. Because trim and lighting packages can vary by market and body style, it is smart to match the bulb to the exact socket on your car rather than relying on a single generic list.
For the 1997 Acura NSX, the chart includes common fitments such as 9005 high beams, 2057R brake and outer tail bulbs, 3497 front and rear turn signal bulbs, 1156 reverse bulbs, and several interior bulbs like DE3175, DE3021, DE3022, 2721, 158, and 74. Use the position names on this page to narrow down the correct bulb for each light on the vehicle.
Fitment can change with market, trim, or previous repairs, so always compare the bulb in your hand with the listing before ordering. That matters even more if your NSX has been converted to LED, because aftermarket LED replacements may fit the socket but not match the original beam pattern, brightness, or polarity requirements. If the car has had custom lighting work, check for resistors, adapters, or modified housings, and confirm the installed bulb type before purchase to avoid returns and warning-light issues.
