Additional Notes

The Mazda B2200 uses two distinct bulb types across its license plate fitments: the 1895 and the 89, both of which conform to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
The 1895 is a T5 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 0.9W, making it one of the lowest-wattage bulb types commonly found in automotive license plate applications.
The 89 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 13W, representing a significantly higher wattage output than the 1895.
The BA15s base of the 89 bulb is a single-contact bayonet fitting, which is physically distinct from wedge-base sockets and is not interchangeable with the 1895.
The 89 bulb is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156, meaning it shares the same BA15s bayonet base but draws less power, and the 1156 is not a direct drop-in replacement for the 89 in this application.
The 1992-1993 B2200 uses the 1895 wedge bulb for the license plate position, while the 1982-1984 B2200 uses the 89 bayonet-base bulb, indicating the two model generations require physically incompatible socket types.
