Additional Notes

The Ford Ranger front parking light draws from several ANSI-standard bulb families across its production history, with the 3157 being the most frequently specified type, covering model years 1988-1997.
The 3157 is a dual-filament T25 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 27W high filament and 7W low filament, making it a higher-output design compared to the smaller T20 wedge types used in later Ranger model years.
The 7443 and 7444NA are both dual-filament T20 wedge bulbs rated at 12V, 21W/5W. The 7444NA variant adds a natural amber glass coating, and it is specified for the 2023 Ford Ranger only when the vehicle is equipped with a Type 1 lamp configuration.
The 2023 Ford Ranger carries two distinct front parking light bulb specifications: the 7444NA for Type 1 lamp configurations and the 2357NA as a separate fitment, indicating that lamp assembly type determines which bulb applies.
The 2357NA uses a BAY15d bayonet base rather than a wedge base, and at 12V with a 26.9W/8W dual-filament rating, it is the highest-wattage bulb specified across all Ranger front parking light entries.
The 1157, specified for the Ford Ranger from 1983-1987, also uses a BAY15d bayonet base with a 12V, 21W/5W dual-filament rating. Although it shares the same base type as the 2357NA, the two bulbs are not interchangeable due to differing wattage ratings and filament positions.
The 3157NA and 3457NA are both natural amber T25 wedge bulbs with identical 12V, 27W/7W ratings. The 3157NA is specified for 2008-2011, while the 3457NA covers 2001-2004. Despite matching electrical ratings, the numeric designations indicate differences in filament positioning that affect fitment compatibility.
The 194NA, specified for the Ford Ranger in 1998-2000, is a single-filament miniature T10 wedge bulb rated at only 3.78W, making it substantially lower in output than every other bulb type listed in these specifications.
Natural amber glass variants, denoted by the "NA" suffix, are used across multiple bulb families in these specifications. The amber tint is built into the glass envelope itself rather than applied as a coating, producing the required amber color output without a separate lens filter.
The 2020 Ford Ranger front parking light specification lists the 3157 bulb exclusively for vehicles equipped with halogen capsule headlamps, indicating that lamp package selection on that model year directly determines parking light bulb fitment.
