This page covers the bulb sizes for the 2001 Nissan Xterra and helps you match each light by its exact position on the vehicle. Whether you are replacing a burned-out lamp or upgrading a few exterior bulbs, checking the lighting location first is the easiest way to confirm the correct fit.
The 2001 Nissan Xterra uses different bulb types for the headlamps, signal lights, brake lights, interior lights, and license plate lights. Because trim and lighting equipment can vary by market and body style, this guide is organized by lighting position so you can quickly find the bulb size you need.
For the best fitment, compare the bulb listed for your Xterra with the one already installed before buying replacements. Trim level, package content, and regional differences can affect some lamps, especially fog lights and headlight setups. If you are switching from halogen to LED, make sure the new bulb matches the socket and that the beam pattern still works properly in the housing. Some aftermarket LED conversions may need extra clearance or additional hardware, and a bulb that fits physically may still not perform correctly without the right optics. When in doubt, remove the old bulb and verify the number stamped on the base before ordering.
The 2001 Nissan Xterra uses a 9004 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions.
The front turn signal light bulb is 1156A.
The rear turn signal light bulb is 3157A.
Both the brake light and tail light use a 3057R bulb.
The center high mount stop light bulb is 912.
The license plate light uses either 168 or 917, depending on the exact lamp setup.
The dome light bulb is DE3175.
The map light bulb is 578.
The front parking light bulb is 194 or 7441.
The front side marker light bulb is 194NA.
The back-up reverse light bulb is 921.
The front fog light bulb can be H3C or H3, depending on the vehicle’s lighting package and market.
Not always. Trim, body style, and market can change certain bulb applications, so it is best to verify by lighting position and compare the installed bulb before ordering.
Yes, many owners upgrade to LED bulbs, but the replacement must fit the socket and work correctly in the housing. Some positions may also need resistor or adapter support to avoid issues.
Use the bulb chart on this page, then check the existing bulb number on the part itself if possible. This is especially helpful for fog lights, license plate lights, and any bulb that may vary by trim or market.
