Additional Notes

The 1155 bulb is the license plate bulb size for the Ford Sprint across the 1963-1964 model years.
The 1155 is an ANSI-standard bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a 21-watt output through a single filament.
It uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet mount with a 15mm base width, designed for straightforward insertion and locking without rotation alignment requirements.
The 1155 is classified as a variant of the 1156 bulb. These two types share the BA15s base but differ in their electrical characteristics, meaning they are not directly interchangeable despite their physical similarities.
