Lamps, lights. Parking lights, running lights. Whatever you call them, Datsun 1200s have them.

Headlights
Large round headlights from *any* car will fit. These are type 6012/6014 for a two-headlight system (a single large round headlight on each side of the car). These are "dual beam" lights (two-filament), encompassing both regular and high-beam in the same light.
Overview
Note that the original specification 6012 headlamp is only 50W/40W. You can substitute the brighter 6014 which is 60W/50W. Type 6015 is a longer-life bulb, but more expensive.
USA 1972 Owners manual (see page 36 for headlight specification):
Alternatively, and recommended, H6024 (65W/35W) is a halogen replacement. Halogen is a brighter light, and now available in shades of blue, gold, white. Street-legal in USA.
The brighter 6014 is as inexpensive as $3. See RockAuto headlights for Datsun 1200
