Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the lamp socket uses a BA15s base and confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and position against the fitment list before installation. This bulb is listed for N/A, Outer, and Front positions depending on application, so the exact lamp location matters. Because DOT approval is marked No, check local regulations before using it in road-facing lighting positions. For vehicles with factory HID or halogen headlight packages noted in fitment, confirm the specific lamp type and trim before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Phillips supplies the Ultinon LED line as a purpose-built LED lighting solution for exterior applications. The 1156WLED is built to the stated electrical and dimensional specifications and should be matched to the confirmed vehicle fitment data for proper application selection.
