The bulbs may be similar, but I doubt they would fit. If you're thinking about taking one from a Ford Probe, I'm disowning you.

Is this a serious question?

Answer is this.

If you have an s13, then buy s13 headlights.

If you have a ford probe. #1. why are you here,#2. if you need a headlight, buy for ford probe.

If you have an s12, then buy headlights for an s12.

If you have a pulsar, then buy pulsar lights.

This is common sense and if you are trying to put ford probe headlights on a 240sx, they wont work and this is the highest level of FAIL I have seen yet.

What exactly are you looking for, the entire assembly or just the bulb and lense?

And I answered your question very detailed so that your teeny tiny little brain could understand that different manufacturers headlights arent going to work for you, nor is any other Nissan headlight going to work. If you are going to the junkyard to look for 240SX parts, then why would you look at any other cars for parts for your S13 than an S13?

So, I will be the "smart one" (lol) and you would have been smarter to have just taken the advice and taken your a** to the junkyard and look for S13 parts.

Trade your S13 for a Probe, Because these are the kinds of things Probe owners think about. "Hey I wonder if I can put S13 headlights on my Probe?"

Also, if the question is, Will a bulb from another car with flip up lights work in your S13? Then ask that question instead of leaving a half assed explanation of what you are looking for and then get mad when people answer the poor question poorly.

Then I would ask you. Are you too broke to buy a new one from auto zone or pep boys? If the answer is no, then go to the auto parts store. Go to the counter. Tell the parts person what you are looking for. He will get the bulb, and ask for money, then you pay said person, and u can install new bulb. Really very easy...

Now, I just looked at your car and see that you are in fact in need of flip up lights seeing that you have those crap aftermarket projector lights. So I did answer the question correctly and you just got offended because you are clueless. Here's a little more "smart one" advice...Take off the bright red hubcaps, get rid of the underglow guages, Get rid of ricer steering wheel and shift knob, thats just to start. And dont replace them with parts from other manufacturers cars. Get the parts from Nissan S13 body 240sx's.

You cant change the bulb in an s13 pop up headlight. its a sealed housing with the bulb inside. you have to buy a whole new houseing or find one in an s13 at the junkyard. im sure size will vary in pop up headlights. just to be safe find one from an s13. Good luck on fixing your headlights. i just switched to HIDs since i got a great deal from someone local. HID's are sooo much better than than stock.
