I need to know what kind of bulb socket goes into the S15 parking light.

All I found in searches was "go to a junkyard" "maybe a S14, maxima, or xterra or another Nissan will have the right size". There are no pick & pull type places anywhere near me that have Nissans. And to date, I have NEVER seen an S14 in a junkyard I've gone to. So I will have to go to another state to find the closest one that will. Autozone/O'reilly/advance had no clue.

Before I make the trip I need a definitive answer of what car will have a socket that fits, what year range & model of USDM nissan. Or even better if someone knows a place online to order them to save me the trip.

I have the low beam, high beam, & turn signals. But having no parking lights is a problem as the car was supposed to be registered last week & it's the last piece of the puzzle.

So any help or advice is appreciated.

I'm not too familiar with S15 lights. I reached out to one of my facebook pages to see if anyone can help you.

But, looking through my S15 manual, it looks like the socket is part of the subharness that connects the turn signal and clearance lamp, which would be how it's usually set up. So are you in search of just the bulb?

Taken from http://forum.s15oc.com/threads/844-Bulb-specs-and-types
Unless stated, all bulbs are white

Headlight unit
Low beam: H1 (55W)
High beam: HB3 9005 (60W)
OEM HID low beam: D2S (35W) 4300k?.

Exterior
Sidelight/parking: 501 (5W)
Front indicators: 581 (21W - amber) These bulbs have an OFFSET base bayonet
Side indicators: 501 (5W) Although white, you will require amber bulbs if swapping to clear/smoked indicator units
Fog lamps: H3 (55W)

Rear combination lamp
Indicator: 7440 (21W)
Brake/tail: 7443 (21W/5W) Two per side (one per side on ADM S15s)
Reverse: 921 (18W) If a reversing light is converted to a fog light, you will require a red bulb
High mounted brake: 921 (18W)

Number plate: 501 (5W)

Interior
Interior main: 269 (10W) 30mm length
Map lights: 233/BA9 (8W or 10W)
Boot: 501 (3.4W) Although the workshop manual states 3.4W, 5W is going to be much easier to find
Hope this helps!

I don't have the sub harnesses. Couldn't find them anywhere. So I made my own harnesses. But I can't find that one socket.
