The Suzuki Samurai turn signal requires a 1156 bulb size for the lighting system. Data for the specific component covers the period from 1995 through 1995.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Suzuki Samurai uses the 1156 bulb for both front and rear turn signals across all model years from 1986-1995.
The 1156 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a recognized industry standard used across the United States and Canada.
The 1156 operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 21 watts, which is consistent with standard automotive turn signal power requirements.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function only, as opposed to dual-filament types that can handle two functions such as braking and turn signaling simultaneously.
The 1156 uses a BA15s bayonet base, where "BA15s" denotes a single-contact bayonet fitting with a 15mm base width. This base type requires a twist-and-lock installation rather than a screw-in method.
Because the Suzuki Samurai uses the same 1156 bulb for both the front and rear turn signal positions, a single bulb type serves all four turn signal sockets on the vehicle.
The BA15s single-contact base of the 1156 is not interchangeable with the BA15d double-contact base found on dual-filament bulbs such as the 1157, despite the two types sharing a similar physical profile.
