Additional Notes

The Sunbeam Arrow uses the 1895 bulb for its license plate light across the 1967-1970 model years.
The 1895 is classified as a T5 miniature wedge bulb under the ANSI standard, which applies to the United States and Canada markets.
The T5 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the numeric portion indicating a width of five-eighths of an inch.
The 1895 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles of that era.
At 0.9 watts, the 1895 draws very low power, which is typical for license plate illumination applications where output requirements are minimal.
The wedge base design of the 1895 means the bulb is held in its socket by the tension of the base itself, with no separate metal bayonet pins or screw threads involved in retention.
Because the same bulb size is specified across all four model years of the Sunbeam Arrow covered in these specifications, a single replacement part applies uniformly to the entire listed production run.
