High-Output Amber 1156 LED Replacement
The M-1156A is designed to replace traditional 1156-style halogen bulbs with a higher-output LED solution.
Instead of relying on a large number of low-power LEDs, the Lucas M-Series uses fewer, higher-power LED chipsets positioned close to the original filament location. This design helps maintain the position of the light source within the factory housing, which is important for producing an effective light pattern.
The result is a modern LED replacement that provides the benefits of brighter output, instant-on response and reduced reliance on traditional halogen technology.
Amber LED for Turn Signal Applications
The M-1156A is the amber version of the M-1156 series, making it particularly suited for applications that require an amber light source.
Common uses include:
- Front turn signals
- Rear turn signals where an amber bulb is specified
- Amber marker lights
- Other compatible 1156-style amber-light applications
Always verify the required bulb color for your specific application before ordering.
Advanced CANBUS Technology
LED bulbs can sometimes cause issues when installed in vehicles designed around the electrical characteristics of halogen bulbs. Depending on the vehicle, this can result in bulb-out warnings or rapid turn-signal flashing.
The M-1156A incorporates Lucas Lighting's newest CANBUS technology and is designed to provide compatibility with more than 90% of vehicles without bulb-out errors or fast-blinking issues.
Vehicle electrical systems vary, so some applications may still require additional load equipment or other installation considerations.
1156 and BA15S Cross-Reference Compatibility
The M-1156A is compatible with a wide range of 1156-style and cross-reference bulb numbers, including:
105, 105LL, 1003, 1003LL, 1073, 1073LL, 1095, 1141, 1141LL, 1155, 1155LL, 1156, 1156LL, 1156NA, 1156ST, 1195, 12088, 1295, 1295NA, 199, 2396, 3497, 3497LL, 5007, 5007LL, 5008, 5008LL, 57X, 631, 631LL, 67, 67LL, 7506, 7506L, 7506LL, 7506ST, 87, 89, 89LL, 93, 93LL, 97, 97A, 97LL, 97NA, 98 and BA15S.
These cross-reference numbers do not guarantee vehicle fitment. Always compare the original bulb number and socket configuration before ordering.
Direct Replacement Design
The M-1156A is designed to fit compatible 1156-style sockets without requiring modifications to the factory housing.
The LED bulb maintains the familiar 1156/BA15S-style base, allowing it to replace the original compatible halogen bulb while providing the advantages of LED technology.

Important Fitment Information
Before ordering, verify that your vehicle uses a compatible 1156 / BA15S-style bulb and that an amber light source is required for your application.
Although the M-1156A cross-references numerous bulb numbers, bulb-number compatibility does not guarantee that every vehicle will accept an LED replacement without additional electrical components.
For turn-signal applications, vehicle-specific electrical systems can affect LED compatibility. Lucas Lighting's CANBUS technology is designed to minimize common issues such as bulb-out warnings and rapid flashing, but additional components may still be necessary on certain vehicles.
