The Dodge Lancer brake light utilizes 2057, 1034, and 1154 bulb sizes for the lighting components. Data for the specific bulb requirements covers the range from 1955 through 1989.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Lancer brake bulb specifications cover two distinct production eras: a mid-1980s generation and a mid-1950s to early-1960s generation, with each era using a different bulb type.
The 2057 bulb is specified for the 1985-1989 Dodge Lancer brake lights. It is a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a high/low wattage of 26.9W/8W.
The 1034 bulb is specified for the 1956-1962 Dodge Lancer brake lights, with the exception of 1958 and 1960. It is also a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a wattage of 21/5W.
Both the 2057 and 1034 bulbs share the BAY15d bayonet base and are classified as variants of the 1157 bulb under the ANSI standard. The primary difference between them is wattage output, with the 2057 drawing notably more power on its high filament.
The 1154 bulb is specified for the 1955 Dodge Lancer brake lights. Unlike the 1034 and 2057, it is rated for both 6V and 12V operation, reflecting the transitional period in automotive electrical systems during the mid-1950s.
The 1154 also uses a BAY15d bayonet base and is a dual-filament bulb, making it physically similar to the 1034 and 2057. However, its dual-voltage rating distinguishes it from the strictly 12V bulbs used in other model years.
The 921 bulb is specified for the 1986-1989 Dodge Lancer Center High Mount Stop Light. It is a single-filament wedge-type bulb in a T15 form factor, rated at 12V and 16W, and is not interchangeable with the BAY15d bayonet-base bulbs used in the standard brake lights.
The BAY15d base shared by the 2057, 1034, and 1154 bulbs features an offset pin design that prevents incorrect installation. Despite this shared base, the wattage and voltage differences among these three bulbs mean they are not direct substitutes for one another without consideration of the vehicle's electrical system.
The 921 wedge bulb uses a friction-fit base rather than a bayonet mount, requiring a different socket type than the brake light bulbs used in the same 1986-1989 model years.
All bulb types listed in the Dodge Lancer specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
