Additional Notes

The Mercury Marauder license plate bulb specifications span two distinct production periods: 2003-2004 and 1963-1970.
Three bulb types appear across these specifications: the 194, the 97, and the 1155, all of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The 194 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W, making it among the lowest-wattage types in these specifications. It fits the Mercury Marauder for the 2003-2004 model years.
The 97 and 1155 are both single-filament bulbs sharing the BA15s bayonet base and are each classified as variants of the 1156 bulb type.
Despite sharing the same BA15s base, the 97 and 1155 are not interchangeable. The 97 is rated at 13W while the 1155 is rated at 21W, a significant wattage difference that affects electrical load and light output.
The 97 bulb applies to the 1968-1970 Marauder model years for the license plate position.
The 1155 bulb covers the longest consecutive span in these specifications, fitting the Mercury Marauder across the 1963-1967 model years.
The BA15s designation on both the 97 and 1155 refers to a single-contact bayonet base with a 15mm cap, a base type distinct from the wedge fitting used by the 194.
