Additional Notes

The 1156NA is a single-filament bulb built on a BA15s bayonet base, which uses a single contact pin offset to one side to ensure correct rotational alignment during installation.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 21 watts, figures consistent with standard automotive incandescent daytime running light applications.
The natural amber glass of the 1156NA produces a warm-tinted output without the use of a colored lens or housing filter, distinguishing it from the clear-glass 1156 variant.
The 1156NA carries ANSI standardization recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning its physical and electrical characteristics conform to a defined industry specification rather than a proprietary standard.
The Scion tC uses the 1156NA for its daytime running lights across the 2014-2016 model years, indicating a consistent fitment across that production span.
Because the 1156NA and the standard 1156 share the same BA15s base and wattage, they are physically interchangeable, but substituting a clear 1156 for the 1156NA would alter the output color from amber-tinted to white.
