Additional Notes

The 1157 is the tail light bulb size for the Kawasaki KLT200 across the 1981-1984 model years.
The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb, meaning it serves two lighting functions within a single unit. The higher 21W filament handles the brake light function, while the lower 5W filament handles the running light function.
The 1157 operates on a 12V electrical system, which is standard for this class of powersport vehicle.
The 1157 uses a BAY15d bayonet base. The BAY15d designation indicates an offset dual-contact base, where the two pins are positioned at different heights to prevent incorrect installation orientation.
The 1157 designation follows the ANSI standard, which applies to the United States and Canada. This standardization means the bulb is widely available through North American automotive and powersport parts suppliers.
Because the 1157 is a dual-filament type, single-filament substitutes such as the 1156 are not interchangeable, as the 1156 shares the same bayonet base style but lacks the second filament required for combined brake and running light operation.
