Additional Notes

The Dodge Sprinter uses the 1156 bulb for the back up light across all listed model years, spanning 2003-2009.
The 1156 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a formal industry standard recognized across the United States and Canada.
The 1156 operates on a 12-volt electrical system, which is consistent with standard automotive DC power architecture.
At 21 watts, the 1156 produces a moderate output level typical of incandescent reverse lighting applications.
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 1156 uses a BA15s bayonet base, where "BA15s" denotes a bayonet mount with a 15mm base width and a single contact pin, which determines physical fitment into the socket.
The single-contact BA15s base of the 1156 is not interchangeable with the BA15d base found on dual-filament bulbs such as the 1157, despite the two types sharing the same 15mm bayonet width.
