Additional Notes

The bulb type 89 is an ANSI-standardized single-filament bulb used across the North American market, operating at 12 volts and 13 watts.
The 89 bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet fitting with a 15mm base width.
The 89 bulb is a lower-wattage variant of the 1156, meaning the two share the same BA15s base configuration but differ in wattage output, making them non-interchangeable despite their physical similarity.
The Suzuki Motorcycle GV1400 Cavalcade uses the 89 bulb for the license plate position across all four production years, spanning 1986-1989.
