Chevrolet Prizm front and rear turn signal bulbs utilize a 1156 size across both positions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1998 to 2002.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Chevrolet Prizm uses the 1156 bulb for both its front and rear turn signals across all model years from 1998-2002.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it is dedicated to one lighting function rather than serving dual purposes such as combined stop and tail duties.
It operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 21 watts, which is consistent with standard automotive incandescent turn signal applications.
The 1156 uses a BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact mount where the bulb is inserted and twisted to lock into place.
The 1156 conforms to ANSI standards and is specified for use in both the United States and Canada, reflecting a standardized North American fitment.
Because the front and rear turn signal positions on the Prizm share the same bulb type, a single 1156 bulb serves as a direct replacement for either location.
The BA15s base designation indicates a single contact point at the base, which distinguishes it from the BA15d base used on dual-filament bulbs. Substituting a dual-filament variant would not be electrically compatible with this application.
