Nissan Almera G15: all light bulbs in one list with part numbers and recommendations

Nissan Almera G15 (2013–2022) is a popular sedan that is valued for its reliability and unpretentiousness. But even in such a car, lamps burn out over time: from the low beam to the license plate light. In this article you will find complete list of all lamps indicating types, power and original articles, as well as advice on choosing analogues and nuances of replacement.

We will not just list which light bulbs are in Almera G15, but we’ll also tell you how to avoid common mistakes when replacing. For example, why not all LED lamps are suitable for standard headlights, how to properly remove headlights without damage and which lamps most often fail. The information is relevant for all modifications, including the 2019 restyling.

Lamp layout in Nissan Almera G15

Before purchasing new light bulbs, it is important to understand exactly where they are installed. B Almera G15 lighting fixtures are divided into several zones:

• 🔦 Front optics: low/high beam, dimensions, turn signals, daytime running lights (DRL).
• 🚨 Rear optics: brake lights, dimensions, turn signals, reverse, fog lights.
• 💡 Salon and trunk: courtesy light, illumination of the glove compartment, trunk, cigarette lighter.
• 🔍 Other lamps: illumination of license plate, instrument panel, control buttons.

Feature Almera G15 — combined block headlights, where low and high beams are often combined in one bulb (for example, H4). This makes replacement easy, but requires careful installation to avoid damaging the reflector.

Front optics lamps: types, articles and analogues

Headlights are the most “loaded” part of the lighting. B Nissan Almera G15 The following types of lamps are used:

Purpose	Lamp type	Power, W	Original article	Popular analogues
Low/high beam	H4	60/55	26510-4M000	Osram H4 Original, Philips H4 VisionPlus, Bosch Pure Light
Side light	W5W	5	26520-4M000	Narva W5W, MTF Light W5W, Koito White
Turn signal	PY21W (yellow)	21	26530-4M000	Philips PY21W YellowVision, Osram PY21W
Daytime running lights (DRL)	W21/5W	21/5	26540-4M000	GE W21/5W, Narva Range Power

Important nuance: in restyled versions (since 2019) sometimes found H7 instead of H4 in the near light. Check the type of lamp by VIN code or visually before purchasing!

⚠️ Attention: When replacing H4 Do not touch the bulb with bare hands - grease marks will shorten the life of the lamp. Use gloves or a cloth.

Rear optics: brake lights, dimensions and turn signals

Tail lights in Almera G15 are combined in a single block, but the lamps in them are separate. Most often, brake lights and reverse lamps burn out; they are checked first in case of malfunctions.

• 🛑 Brake light/marker: P21/5W (double-strand). Original - 26550-4M000. Analogues: Philips P21/5W LongLife, Osram P21/5W.
• 🔄 Turn signal: PY21W (yellow). Same as in the headlights.
• 🚗 Reverse: W16W. Original - 26560-4M000. Popular analogue: Narva W16W.
• 🌫️ Fog light: P21W. Article - 26570-4M000.

In the taillights Almera G15 a plastic cartridge is used, which can melt over time due to overheating. If the lamp is not fixed tightly, replace the socket (part number 26580-4M000).

To replace the lamps in the rear light, simply unscrew the two bolts securing the unit to the body (the key is on 10) and carefully remove it without disconnecting the connector. Access to the lamps is gained by turning the socket counterclockwise.

Interior and trunk lamps: lighting and nuances

Inside Nissan Almera G15 Only a few types of lamps are used, but replacing them can be difficult due to the fragile plastic mounts. Main areas:

• 🔅 Interior lighting: DE3175 (or W5W in earlier versions). Article - 26590-4M000.
• 📦 Trunk light: C5W. Original - 26600-4M000.
• 🚪 Glove compartment lighting: T10 (W5W). Article - 26610-4M000.
• 🔌 Cigarette lighter illumination: T5 (rarely found, usually LED).

Difficulty of replacement: lamp in the interior lamp DE3175 It is attached with latches that are easy to break. We recommend using a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry the cover off. There's a lamp in the trunk C5W often sticks to the cartridge - do not pull it by force, but scroll left and right.

⚠️ Attention: When replacing lamps in the interior, avoid cheap LED analogues with radiators - they may not fit into the standard lampshade and cause a short circuit.

How to remove the interior light without damage?

1. Carefully pry up the right side of the lampshade with a screwdriver (the first latch is hidden there).

2. Lightly pull the lamp down - it should come out of the grooves.

3. Disconnect the connector by pressing the latch.

4. Check the circuit for an open circuit if the lamp is working but does not light (a common problem during body work).

License plate and instrument panel illumination

These lamps rarely burn out, but replacing them requires care. B Almera G15 used:

• 📛 Number plate illumination: W5W (2 pcs.). Article - 26620-4M000. To replace, you need to unscrew the two screws securing the lampshade (screwdriver Ph2).
• 📉 Dashboard lighting: LED modules (cannot be replaced separately, only as a unit). If the unit fails, diagnostics of the unit is required Combination Meter.
• 🎛️ Button backlight: T5 or SMD diodes (depending on the year of manufacture).

Important: if the license plate light does not light, check not only the lamp, but also fuse F35 (10A) in the mounting block. It is responsible for the license plate lighting circuit and often burns out during power surges.

To access the license plate lamps, it is not necessary to remove the bumper - just press the lampshade from below and remove it from the grooves. In some versions, the lampshade is attached to clips, which break during careless dismantling (clip article number - 08915-4M000).

Which lamps are better to choose: halogen, LED or xenon?

When replacing lamps in Almera G15 Many owners want to upgrade their lights, but not all options are legal or safe. Let's look at the pros and cons of each type:

Lamp type	Pros	Cons	Legality
Halogen (standard)	Low price, easy replacement, no problems with the traffic police	Weak light, short lifespan (300–500 hours)	✅ Allowed
LED	Bright light, long life (up to 50,000 hours), low power consumption	Expensive high-quality models, problems with canbus are possible, they blind oncoming people if installed incorrectly	⚠️ Conditional (only with marking E or ECE)
Xenon	Maximum brightness and range of light	Requires installation of ignition units, prohibited in halogen headlights, blinds oncoming people	❌ Prohibited (fine 3,000 rubles + confiscation)

If you decide to put LED lamps, choose models with:

• 🔹 Certificate ECE R112 or E4 (allowed for public roads).
• 🔹 Built-in driver CANbus (so that the error message on the dashboard does not light up).
• 🔹 Light temperature 4300–5000K (cooler shades blind oncoming people).

⚠️ Attention: LED lamps in turn signals may cause hyperblinking (rapid blinking). Solved by installing resistors with a resistance 6 ohm or purchasing lamps with built-in load.

Common mistakes when replacing lamps and how to avoid them

Even experienced car owners make mistakes that lead to repeated lamp burnouts or electrical damage. Here are the most common:

1. Touching the bulb of a halogen lamp → grease marks cause local overheating and shorten service life. Solution: use gloves or wipe the flask with alcohol.
2. Incorrect fixation of the plinth → the lamp dangles, vibrates and burns out. Solution: check that the lamp fits into the grooves with a characteristic click.
3. Ignoring fuses → if the lamp does not light and the fuse is blown, replacing the lamp alone will not help. Solution: check F20 (10A) for headlights and F35 (10A) for the rear ones.
4. LED installation without checking polarity → the lamp will not light up or will flash. Solution: If the LED does not work after installation, rotate the lamp 180° in the socket.
5. Buying cheap Chinese lamps → they often have inappropriate power and melt cartridges. Solution: choose brands Philips, Osram, Narva or Koito.

Diagnostic advice: if the lamp burns out more often than once every 3 months, the problem is not in it, but in wiring or generator. Check the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine running - it should be 13.8–14.4 V. If higher, the voltage regulator is faulty.

FAQ: answers to frequently asked questions

Is it possible to install LED lamps in low beam without modifications?

Technically yes, but legally - only if the lamps are certified according to ECE R112 and do not blind people they meet. B Almera G15 Standard headlights are not designed for LED, so the light may be diffuse. We recommend using halogen lamps with increased brightness (for example, Philips X-tremeVision).

Which fuse controls the low beam?

For low beam Almera G15 fuse responds F20 (10A) in the mounting block (located to the left of the steering wheel, under the cover). If it is burnt out, also check the relay K20 and the circuit is short circuited.

Why does it not light up after replacing the reverse lamp?

There may be several reasons:

• Defective reverse limit switch (located at the checkpoint).
• Fuse blown F15 (10A).
• The contacts in the cartridge have oxidized (need to be cleaned).
• The lamp is not installed correctly (check that it is secure).

First, check the lamp with a multimeter in continuity mode, then check the voltage on the socket with reverse gear engaged.

What kind of lamps are in the turn signals? Almera G15 — orange or transparent?

Used in turn signals transparent lamps PY21W with orange filter. If the filter is faded (turns white), replace the entire light unit or paint the filter with orange glass varnish. Installing yellow LED lamps without a filter will result in a fine for non-compliance with GOST.

What to do if condensation appears in the headlight after replacing the lamp?

Condensation inside the headlight is normal after replacing the bulb (the air inside heats up and cools down). If it doesn't go away after 2-3 days, check:

• Tightness sealing gum on the back of the headlight.
• Integrity ventilation valve (located at the bottom of the headlight).
• No cracks on the headlight glass.

To remove moisture you can use silica gel (bags of balls that are placed in shoe boxes) - place it inside the headlight for a day.
