Additional Notes

The Dodge 880 uses the 1156 bulb across all listed model years, spanning 1962-1965.
The 1156 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a formal industry standard recognized in both the United States and Canada.
This bulb operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 21 watts, which is consistent with standard automotive reverse light applications of that era.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function only, as opposed to dual-filament types that handle two functions such as braking and running light simultaneously.
The BA15s designation refers to a bayonet-style base with a 15mm collar and a single locating pin, which locks the bulb into its socket with a push-and-twist motion.
The single-pin BA15s base is not interchangeable with the BA15d base, which carries two offset pins and is used on dual-filament bulbs such as the 1157.
