Ford Maverick brake bulbs utilize WT21/7W and 1157 sizes, while the center high mount stop light requires a 912 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1970 to 2026 with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Ford Maverick uses two distinct brake bulb types across its production history: the WT21/7W for the 2022-2026 model years and the 1157 for the 1970-1977 model years.
The WT21/7W is a Ford OEM part rather than an ANSI-standardized bulb, which distinguishes it from the other bulb types present in these specifications.
Both the WT21/7W and the 1157 are dual-filament bulbs, meaning each serves two lighting functions from a single unit, typically combining stop and tail light operation.
The WT21/7W uses a T20 wedge base and operates at 12V with a 21W/7W dual-filament rating, while the 1157 uses a BAY15d bayonet base at 12V with a 21W/5W rating, making the two bulbs physically and electrically incompatible with each other.
The WT21/7W was originally introduced in 2021-era Ford platforms including the F-150, Bronco, and Maverick, placing the Maverick within a shared Ford OEM bulb family for its brake lighting.
The 1157 conforms to ANSI standards applicable in both the US and Canada, a classification that reflects its broad cross-vehicle compatibility within the North American market.
The Ford Maverick (2022-2026) uses a 912 bulb for the Center High Mount Stop Light, a separate specification from the main brake bulb used on the same model years.
The 912 is a T15 wedge bulb operating at 12V and 12W, and it is a variant of the 921 bulb, indicating a close but not identical relationship between the two part numbers.
Unlike the dual-filament WT21/7W and 1157 brake bulbs, the 912 used in the Center High Mount Stop Light is a single-function bulb, consistent with the dedicated stop-only role of that lamp position.
The BAY15d bayonet base of the 1157 requires a twist-lock socket, while the wedge bases of the WT21/7W and 912 use friction-fit sockets, meaning the socket type in the vehicle housing determines which bulb format is physically compatible.
