The Jeep Renegade front turn signal uses 1156, 12188, or 12180 bulb sizes, while the rear turn signal requires a 1156 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2015 to 2023 with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 1156 is the most frequently specified bulb across both front and rear turn signal positions in the Jeep Renegade. It is an ANSI-standard single-filament bulb rated at 12V and 21W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base, and is recognized across the United States and Canada.
The PY21W is an ECE-standard bulb used in the front turn signal position of the Jeep Renegade for the 2016-2018 model years. It shares the same 12V, 21W rating as the 1156 but uses a BAU15s bayonet base, which has an offset pin arrangement that physically prevents cross-installation with BA15s-based bulbs such as the 1156.
Because the BA15s and BAU15s bases are not interchangeable, the 1156 and PY21W cannot substitute for one another despite sharing identical wattage and voltage ratings. The offset pin on the BAU15s base is a deliberate design feature to ensure only amber-producing bulbs are installed in ECE-compliant positions.
The PY21W is inherently amber in color, whereas the 1156 produces clear light. In ECE-regulated markets, turn signal bulbs are required to emit amber light from the bulb itself rather than relying on a colored lens.
The front turn signal of the Jeep Renegade uses four distinct bulb types across the 2015-2023 model range, reflecting a shift between ANSI, ECE, and manufacturer-specific Philips part numbers depending on the model year.
The rear turn signal position uses the 1156 across all model years from 2015 through 2023, making it the only position with a consistent specification throughout the entire listed production span.
For the 2019-2020 model years, the rear turn signal specification of 1156 carries a conditional notation indicating it applies specifically to vehicles equipped with halogen capsule headlamps, meaning the trim or headlamp package affects which bulb is required.
The 12496, 12188, and 12180 are manufacturer-specific part numbers from Philips or Osram rather than universal ANSI or ECE designations. These are classified as specialty halogen bulbs rated at 12V, and their use in the front turn signal position indicates application-specific fitment requirements for certain model years.
The 2022 front turn signal uses the Philips 12188, while the 2021 uses the Philips 12180. These are distinct part numbers and are not listed as interchangeable with one another or with the 12496 used in other model years.
The 2015 and 2019-2020 front turn signal positions share the 12496 specification, though the 2019-2020 entries are separate from the 2015 entry in the model year sequence, with different bulb types specified for the years in between.
