The Toyota Paseo brake component utilizes a 1157 bulb size for the lighting system. Data for the specific bulb requirements covers the range from 1992 to 1998.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Toyota Paseo uses the 1157 bulb as the dominant brake light specification across its production run, appearing in both the standard brake and outer brake positions for the 1992-1998 model years.
The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a 21W/5W output. The dual-filament design allows a single bulb to serve both the running light and the brighter brake light functions simultaneously.
The 1156 bulb is specified for the Center High Mount Stop Light on the 1996-1998 Toyota Paseo. Unlike the 1157, the 1156 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 21W.
The BA15s base of the 1156 and the BAY15d base of the 1157 are physically similar but not interchangeable. The BAY15d base has offset pins to prevent incorrect installation, while the BA15s base has aligned pins, meaning the two bulbs cannot be substituted for one another.
The Center High Mount Stop Light on the 1993-1995 Paseo uses the 921 bulb, a T15 wedge-type bulb rated at 12V and 16W. The wedge base design requires no separate metal base, as the glass envelope itself acts as the retaining element.
The outer brake position on the 1995 Paseo carries a production cutoff notation of "To 08/1995," indicating that the 1157 fitment for that position applies only to vehicles produced up to that date within the model year.
