The Acura Vigor brake light utilizes a 2057 bulb size for the specific lighting component located at the rear of the vehicle. Data for the bulb specifications covers the range from 1992 to 1994.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Acura Vigor uses two distinct bulb types across its brake lighting system: the 2057 for the standard brake lights and the 3497 for the center high mount stop light, covering the 1992-1994 model years for both positions.
The 2057 is a dual-filament bulb rated at 12V with a wattage split of 26.9W for the high-intensity filament and 8W for the low-intensity filament, allowing it to serve both brake and running light functions from a single unit.
The 2057 uses a BAY15d bayonet base, which is an offset-pin base design. The two pins are positioned at different heights to prevent incorrect installation of the bulb.
The 2057 is classified as a brighter variant of the 1157 bulb. While the 1157 and 2057 share the same BAY15d base and are physically interchangeable in many sockets, their wattage ratings differ, and substituting one for the other may affect light output.
The 3497 is a single-filament bulb rated at 12V and 21W, dedicated solely to stop light function in the center high mount position, as it carries no secondary filament for running light use.
The 3497 uses a BA15s bayonet base, which features a single pin centered on the base. This base type is not compatible with the BAY15d socket used by the 2057, making the two bulb positions non-interchangeable.
The 3497 is a variant of the 1156 bulb. Both share the BA15s base, though wattage ratings between variants in this family can differ slightly depending on the specific ANSI designation.
Both the 2057 and 3497 conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating they meet defined performance and dimensional criteria for those markets.
