Additional Notes

The Renault Fuego uses the 1156 bulb for the back up light across the 1982-1985 model years.
The 1156 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its physical and electrical specifications are defined by a recognized North American standard used in the United States and Canada.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb, which is typical for back up lights since the function requires only one lighting state rather than the dual-intensity operation found in combination stop and tail lights.
The bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base, where "BA15s" denotes a bayonet cap with a 15mm base width and a single contact pin, distinguishing it from the dual-pin BA15d variant with which it is not interchangeable.
The 1156 operates at 12 volts and draws 21 watts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems of that era.
