Additional Notes

The Freightliner FL60 uses the 1156 bulb for its back up lights across all specified model years, spanning 1991-2004.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function only, which is consistent with its dedicated role as a back up light.
It operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 21 watts, placing it in the standard incandescent output range for reverse lighting applications.
The 1156 uses a BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact mount that differs from the dual-contact BA15d base found on two-filament bulbs such as the 1157. These two base types are not interchangeable.
The 1156 carries ANSI standardization, meaning its electrical and physical specifications are governed by a recognized industry standard applicable in both the United States and Canada.
