Additional Notes

The 1156 is the sole bulb type listed for the Dodge Phoenix back up light across both available model years, 1960-1961.
The 1156 operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 21 watts, placing it in the standard incandescent range for single-circuit automotive lighting functions.
The 1156 uses a BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact fitting where the "s" denotes a single pin, distinguishing it from the dual-pin BA15d variant with which it is not interchangeable.
As a single-filament bulb, the 1156 is designed for functions requiring only one lighting state, making it suited to dedicated back up light applications rather than combined stop/tail duties.
The 1156 carries ANSI standardization recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning the specification reflects a formally defined electrical and physical standard rather than a proprietary sizing.
