Additional Notes

The 1157 is an ANSI-standardized bulb used in both the United States and Canada. It operates on 12 volts and carries a dual-filament design rated at 21 watts and 5 watts, where the higher-wattage filament serves the brake function and the lower-wattage filament serves a secondary role such as running light operation.
The 1157 uses a BAY15d bayonet base, a two-pin offset base type. The offset pin placement is a deliberate anti-rotation feature that ensures the bulb seats in only one orientation, which keeps each filament aligned with its intended circuit.
The Polaris FST SwitchBack uses the 1157 bulb size for the brake light position across the 2006-2007 model years.
