Additional Notes

The Honda Wagovan tail light specifications cover the 1984, 1986, and 1987 model years, with two distinct bulb sizes appearing across those years.
The 2057 is the tail light bulb size for the 1986-1987 Honda Wagovan, while the 1157 applies to the 1984 model year.
Both the 2057 and 1157 are ANSI-standardized bulbs recognized in the US and Canada, and both use the BAY15d bayonet base, a double-contact offset-pin fitting that physically locks the bulb in place with a twist.
Both bulbs are dual-filament types, meaning a single bulb serves two lighting functions, typically combining stop and tail light operation within one unit.
The 2057 operates at 12V with a wattage of 26.9W on the high filament and 8W on the low filament, while the 1157 operates at 12V with 21W on the high filament and 5W on the low filament.
The higher wattage of the 2057 high filament, relative to the 1157, produces a brighter output on the stop light function, which is the primary distinction between the two bulb types.
Although the 2057 and 1157 share the same BAY15d base and are physically interchangeable in many sockets, the difference in wattage ratings means the two bulbs are not identical replacements for one another in terms of output.
The shared base type between the 2057 and 1157 is a notable fitment consideration, as the physical compatibility of the socket does not confirm electrical equivalence between the two bulbs.
