Additional Notes

The Freightliner FL60 uses the 1157 bulb for its tail lights across all listed model years, spanning 1991-2004.
The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb, meaning it contains two separate filaments within a single glass envelope, one rated at 21W and the other at 5W, allowing it to serve both stop/turn and running light functions simultaneously.
The 1157 operates on a 12V electrical system, which is consistent with standard automotive and medium-duty vehicle electrical architecture.
The bulb uses a BAY15d bayonet base, a two-pin offset base design that prevents incorrect insertion by positioning the two pins at different heights, ensuring polarity-correct installation.
The 1157 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, placing it within a widely distributed and regulated specification category.
Because the BAY15d base uses offset pins, it is not interchangeable with single-filament bayonet bulbs that share a similar physical profile but differ in pin configuration, such as the 1156, which uses a BA15s single-contact base.
