Additional Notes

The 3157 is an ANSI-standard bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a dual-filament design rated at 27W and 7W respectively, housed in a T25 wedge form factor.
The 1156 is also an ANSI-standard bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a single filament rated at 21W, and it uses a BA15s bayonet base rather than a wedge mount.
The Chrysler Sebring uses the 3157 bulb for the back up light position across the 2007-2008 model years.
The dual-filament configuration of the 3157 means it carries two separate circuits within one bulb, which serves different brightness levels for distinct lighting functions.
The 1156 is specified for the 1995 Chrysler Sebring back up light position, a notably different fitment from the later model years.
Because the 3157 uses a T25 wedge base and the 1156 uses a BA15s bayonet base, the two bulb types are physically incompatible and not interchangeable with each other.
The wattage difference between the 1156 at 21W and the higher 27W filament of the 3157 reflects a difference in light output between the two bulb types.
The BA15s designation on the 1156 refers to a single-contact bayonet cap with a 15mm base width, a base style commonly associated with single-filament automotive applications.
