The Eagle Talon brake light requires a 2057 bulb size for proper installation and function within the rear lighting assembly. Data for the specified component covers the period from 1990 through 1998.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Eagle Talon uses the 2057 bulb for the standard brake light across all model years from 1990-1998.
The 2057 is a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a high filament draw of 26.9W and a low filament draw of 8W. The dual-filament design allows it to serve both brake and running light functions from a single unit.
The 2057 is a brighter variant of the 1157, meaning the two share the same BAY15d base but are not identical in output. Substituting one for the other may result in different brightness levels.
The center high mount stop light (CHMSL) on the Eagle Talon does not use a single bulb type across all model years, with three distinct bulb sizes appearing in the specifications: 168, 1156, and 3497.
The 168 bulb was fitted to the CHMSL in the 1990 and 1993 Eagle Talon. It is a miniature T10 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 4.9W, a significantly lower wattage than the other CHMSL bulbs listed.
The 1156 bulb was used in the CHMSL for the 1991-1992 and 1994 Eagle Talon. It is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 21W.
The 3497 replaced the 1156 as the CHMSL bulb for the 1995-1998 Eagle Talon. Both the 3497 and 1156 share the BA15s bayonet base and identical 12V, 21W ratings, making the 3497 a direct variant of the 1156.
Because the 168 wedge bulb uses a T10 base rather than a bayonet base, it is physically incompatible with the socket types used by the 1156 and 3497. The 1990 and 1993 CHMSL sockets are therefore not interchangeable with those from other model years.
The standard brake light socket across all 1990-1998 model years uses the BAY15d bayonet base, which is distinct from the BA15s base found in the CHMSL positions. The two base types are not interchangeable despite their visual similarity.
All four bulb types listed in the specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
