Additional Notes

The 1156 bulb is the most widely used type across the Toyota Cressida's turn signal specifications, appearing in both front and rear positions for the 1982-1992 model years and in the rear position across all listed years.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb rated at 12V and 21W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base, and meets ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The 1157 bulb differs from the 1156 in that it carries two filaments, rated at 21W and 5W respectively, and uses a BAY15d bayonet base. The offset pins of the BAY15d base make the 1157 physically incompatible with the BA15s socket used by the 1156, meaning the two types are not interchangeable.
The Toyota Cressida front turn signal for 1980-1981 uses the 1157, while the same position for 1982-1992 uses the 1156, reflecting a socket type change between those periods that affects direct substitution.
The 1157NA and 1034NA types, specified for the 1978 and 1979 front turn signals respectively, are natural amber glass variants of the dual-filament 1157 design. The amber glass filters the light output at the bulb itself rather than relying on a colored lens.
The 1034NA shares the same BAY15d bayonet base and 12V, 21W/5W ratings as the 1157NA, making it a close variant, though the two carry distinct ANSI designations and are not guaranteed to be interchangeable in all applications.
The rear turn signal position on the Toyota Cressida uses the 1156 across all listed years from 1978 through 1992, while the front position shows variation across three different bulb types over the same span.
