Additional Notes

The Ski-Doo Elan 250 uses the 1157 bulb for its brake light across all listed model years, spanning 1990-1996.
The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb, meaning it contains two separate filaments within a single glass envelope, one rated at 21W and the other at 5W.
The higher 21W filament typically serves the brake or turn signal function, while the lower 5W filament handles the running light function.
The 1157 operates on a 12V electrical system, which is standard for most powersport and automotive applications.
This bulb uses a BAY15d bayonet base, a two-pin offset base design that prevents incorrect installation by ensuring the bulb can only be seated in one orientation.
The 1157 is an ANSI-standardized designation recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning bulbs sold under this number conform to a defined set of electrical and physical characteristics regardless of manufacturer.
Because the BAY15d base is offset, it is not interchangeable with single-filament bayonet bases such as the BA15s, despite a similar physical profile.
