Additional Notes

The Isuzu FVR uses the 89 bulb for the license plate position across all listed model years from 1988 to 2011.
The 89 is an ANSI-standard bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts and 13 watts.
It features a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact base type that mounts by inserting and rotating the bulb to lock it in place.
The 89 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function rather than switching between two brightness levels.
The 89 is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb, which shares the same BA15s bayonet base but draws more power at approximately 26.9 watts.
Because the 89 and 1156 share the same base type, physical fitment is possible between the two, but the wattage difference means they are not direct electrical equivalents and are not interchangeable without consideration of circuit load.
The specifications note a Tilt Cab body style for the 2002-2011 model years, indicating that this fitment applies specifically to that cab configuration during that period.
The 1988-1995 model years carry a Heavy Duty designation, identifying a distinct vehicle configuration for which the 89 bulb fitment applies.
The 1996-2001 model years carry no body style qualifier in the specifications, representing a separate fitment entry from both the Heavy Duty and Tilt Cab designations.
