Additional Notes

The bulb 105 is an ANSI-standardized single-filament type rated at 12 volts and 13 watts, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base.
The BA15s base designation indicates a single-contact bayonet mount with a 15mm base width, which is not interchangeable with dual-contact bayonet variants such as the BA15d.
The 105 is a variant of the 1156 bulb. While the two share a BA15s base, they carry different wattage ratings, and substitution between them may affect circuit load and brightness.
The Freightliner MB Line uses the 105 bulb for the cab over engine courtesy application across the 1995-1997 model years.
The ANSI standardization of the 105 bulb means its specifications are consistent across manufacturers in the United States and Canada, making cross-brand physical compatibility predictable within that designation.
