Parts for your 1991 Nissan Primera-Tail lights

1991 Nissan Primera Tail-lights

Tail-lights are absolutely fitted to the 1991 Nissan Primera (P10). The Nissan factory service manual (P10 FSM, Lighting/LT section) details the rear combination lamp assembly, including tail (rear position) and stop lamps. Road standards in its main markets also require them: ECE Regulation 48 for Europe/UK and ADR 13/00 in Australia mandate rear position lamps, so this Primera rolled out with tail-lights from day one.

On a ’91 Primera, the tail-lights do the critical job of making the car visible from behind at night and in poor weather, while the brighter stop filament signals braking. Indicators, reverse, and (where fitted) a rear fog lamp sit in the same cluster, but the humble tail lamp is the always-on safety hero whenever the headlights or parkers are on.

For routine servicing, it’s worth giving the tail-lights a quick once-over. Lenses should be clean, uncracked, and free of moisture. If there’s fogging or water inside, check the housing seal or the foam gasket where the cluster meets the body. A dab of dielectric grease on the bulb bases and a look at the earth (ground) point can cure dim or flickery lamps.

Bulb types vary by market, but the tail/stop lamp commonly uses a dual‑filament P21/5W (BAY15d). Indicators are typically PY21W (amber), reverse P21W, and some cars have a single rear fog P21W. Always match what’s in your car or check the owner’s manual decal in the boot.

1. Open the boot and peel back the trim behind the lamp.
2. Unclip the bulb holder to swap a globe, or remove the 8–10 mm nuts to pull the whole cluster.
3. Inspect the gasket
