The Daihatsu Charade front and rear turn signal bulbs both utilize a 1156 size bulb for proper operation. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1988 to 1992.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 1156 bulb is the sole turn signal bulb type specified for the Daihatsu Charade across both front and rear positions for the 1988-1992 model years.
The 1156 is an ANSI-standardized bulb, meaning its physical and electrical specifications conform to a defined North American standard used in the United States and Canada.
This bulb operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 21 watts, which is typical for incandescent automotive turn signal applications.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function only, as opposed to dual-filament types such as the 1157, which handle two functions from a single housing.
The BA15s designation refers to a bayonet-style base with a 15mm collar and a single contact pin, which locks the bulb into its socket with a push-and-twist motion.
Because the Daihatsu Charade (1988-1992) uses the same 1156 bulb in all four turn signal positions, front and rear sockets accept the same replacement unit without variation.
The BA15s base of the 1156 is not interchangeable with the BA15d base found on dual-filament bulbs, as the pin alignment differs and prevents incorrect installation in most factory sockets.
