Eagle Talon front side marker bulbs use a 168 size, while rear side marker bulbs use either 2057 or 168 bulb sizes. The replacement chart contains vehicle production years and bulb size specifications spanning 1990 to 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 two distinct bulb types across its side marker positions: the 168 and the 2057, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 168 is a miniature wedge bulb of the T10 type, rated at 12V and 4.9W. The T10 designation refers to a tubular bulb body roughly 10/8 of an inch wide, with a wedge-style base that requires no locking mechanism, relying instead on socket tension to hold the bulb in place.
The 2057 is a dual-filament bulb fitted with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a high filament draw of 26.9W and a low filament draw of 8W. The BAY15d base features two offset pins, which prevent incorrect installation by ensuring the bulb can only be seated in one orientation.
The 2057 is described as a brighter variant of the 1157. While the two share the same BAY15d base and are physically interchangeable in many sockets, the 2057 draws more wattage on its high filament, producing greater light output.
The front side marker position on the Eagle Talon uses the 168 bulb across all model years from 1990-1998, with no variation throughout the entire production span covered by these specifications.
The rear side marker position uses the 168 bulb for model years 1990-1994, then transitions to the 2057 bulb for model years 1995-1998, representing a change in rear marker specification partway through the Talon's production run.
Because the 168 and 2057 use fundamentally different base types, a wedge base versus a bayonet base, the two bulbs are not interchangeable. Substituting one for the other is not possible without a socket adapter or socket replacement.
The wattage difference between the 168 at 4.9W and the 2057 at up to 26.9W on its high filament is substantial. This reflects the different functional roles of the two bulbs, with the higher-wattage 2057 supporting dual-filament operation typical of combined marker and stop or tail light functions.
