Additional Notes

The Ram ProMaster City uses the P21/5W bulb size across all listed model years, spanning 2015-2022.
The P21/5W is an ECE-standard bulb, a specification framework used in Europe and internationally, meaning it conforms to internationally recognized automotive lighting regulations rather than SAE standards common in North America.
As a dual-filament bulb, the P21/5W houses two separate filaments within a single glass envelope, with the 21W filament serving the brake or turn signal function and the 5W filament serving the tail or running light function.
The P21/5W operates at 12 volts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The bulb uses a BAY15d bayonet base, which is an offset twin-pin base. The offset pin placement is a deliberate design feature that prevents incorrect insertion, ensuring the two filaments are always oriented to their correct circuits.
The BAY15d base is not interchangeable with the BA15s single-filament bayonet base or the BAY15s offset single-pin base, as those configurations do not support dual-filament operation.
