Additional Notes

The Ski-Doo MX Z 600 uses the 1157 bulb for its tail light across the 1999-2011 model years.
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, allowing it to serve both brake light and running light functions from one unit.
The 1157 operates on a 12V electrical system, which is standard for powersports and automotive lighting applications.
The bulb uses a BAY15d bayonet base, a two-pin offset base design that prevents incorrect installation by ensuring the pins are not symmetrically placed, locking the bulb into a fixed rotational position.
The 1157 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating it meets defined performance and dimensional criteria for those markets.
Because the 1157 is a dual-filament type, single-filament substitutes such as the 1156 are not interchangeable, as the 1156 shares the same bayonet base style but lacks the second filament required for combined brake and tail light operation.
