Additional Notes

The 1156 is the sole bulb type listed for the Mitsubishi Fuso FM-HR backup light across the 1996-1998 model years.
The 1156 is an ANSI-standardized bulb used in the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts and 21 watts.
As a single-filament bulb, the 1156 is dedicated to one lighting function, which in this application is the backup light.
The 1156 uses a BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact mount where the bulb is inserted and twisted to lock into place.
The BA15s base designation indicates a 15mm bayonet cap with a single contact point at the base, distinguishing it from dual-contact variants such as the BA15d.
The bayonet mount of the 1156 is not interchangeable with wedge-base or screw-base bulb types, as those require different socket designs.
