Additional Notes

The Ski-Doo MX Z 550 X uses two distinct brake bulb types across its model years: the 921 for 2007-2009 and the 1157 for 2006.
The 921 is a T15 wedge-base bulb operating at 12V and 16W. Its wedge base means it is held in place by friction rather than a locking mechanism, requiring no rotation during installation or removal.
The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a 21W main filament and a 5W secondary filament. The dual-filament design allows it to serve both a brighter active state and a dimmer standby state within a single housing.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada, placing them within a widely available standardized classification system.
The 921 and 1157 are not interchangeable. Their base types differ physically, with the 921 using a wedge fitting and the 1157 using a bayonet fitting, making cross-year substitution incompatible without a socket adapter.
The wattage difference between the two bulbs is notable. The 1157's 21W primary filament draws more power than the 921's single 16W filament, reflecting the functional difference between a single-filament and a dual-filament design.
