The Dodge Raider front turn signal requires a 1156 bulb size while the rear turn signal uses a 1157 bulb size. The replacement chart covers 1987 to 1989 model production years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Raider uses two distinct bulb types across its turn signal system for the 1987-1989 model years, with the front and rear positions each requiring a different specification.
The front turn signal on the Dodge Raider calls for the 1156 bulb across all three model years covered in the specifications.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb operating at 12V and 21W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base, and is recognized under ANSI standards in both the United States and Canada.
A single-filament design means the 1156 serves one electrical function only, which in a front turn signal application is the directional flash circuit.
The rear turn signal requires the 1157 bulb for all three model years covered in the specifications.
The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb rated at 12V with a split wattage of 21W and 5W, mounted on a BAY15d bayonet base, and also carries ANSI recognition in the United States and Canada.
The dual-filament construction of the 1157 allows it to serve two separate electrical circuits from a single housing, which is why it is suited to a rear position where both turn signal and running light functions may share the same lamp.
The BA15s base of the 1156 and the BAY15d base of the 1157 are not interchangeable. The BAY15d base features offset locating pins that prevent a dual-filament bulb from being seated in a single-filament socket, and vice versa.
Although both bulbs share a 12V operating voltage and a 21W high-filament rating, substituting one for the other is not supported by the specifications, as the base types and filament counts differ between the two.
