Additional Notes

The 1155 is an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized across the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a 21-watt output through a single filament.
The 1155 uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet fitting with a 15mm base width.
The Ford Capri (1962-1964) uses the 1155 bulb for its license plate position across all three model years covered in the specifications.
The 1155 is a variant of the more widely distributed 1156 bulb. Despite their close relationship, these two types are not confirmed as interchangeable within these specifications, and substitution without verification of exact electrical and physical compatibility carries fitment risk.
