The difference between <em>BA<\/em> and <em>BAY<\/em> is the configuration of the bulb holding pins. <\/p>\n<p>The diameter of the socket is measured in millimeters, either the standard &#8220;15&#8221; or a mini &#8220;9&#8221; size. Finally, a <em>d<\/em> or <em>s<\/em> designation indicates whether the bulb is <strong>s<\/strong>ingle purpose &#8212; that is, only goes on or off &#8212; or <strong>d<\/strong>ual purpose &#8212; that is, output varies by function like a parking\/brake light combination. <\/p>\n<p>For example, <em>BA15d<\/em> indicates a 15mm bayonet socket designed for a dual purpose bulb while <em>BAY9s<\/em> defines a mini 9mm bayonet single purpose (with different pin locations than a BA9s). <\/p>\n<p>The BA15s socket and bulb is also referred to as <em>1156<\/em>, and the BA15d as <em>1142<\/em> (BAY15d is <em>1157<\/em>). While BAY9s and BA9s are commonly used for smaller marker lights, the dual purpose mini BAY9d and BA9d are rarely deployed in British classic cars. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3633\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/festoon-design.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3633\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/festoon-design-330x98.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"98\" class=\"align-left\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LED festoon design with heat sink<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Festoon style bulbs are used in narrow spaces like the reverse and license plate light fixtures where a limited beam efficiently focuses output without waste. Many high output LED festoons deploy rear heat sinks to dissipate heat. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Color_and_brightness\"><\/span>Color and brightness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After determining the proper size and pin configuration, the next issue is brightness. A typical automotive indicator light outputs about 300-450 lumens. Much under that level is too dim and presents a safety hazard, especially in bright sunlight. But excessive lumens create more heat that risks bulb failure and may also cause glare. Running lights are usually about a third of the brightness of turn and brake indicator bulbs.<\/p>\n<p>Another consideration is the color of the light lens. If the lens is clear, then close to all the LED output will pass through; thus, a 400 lumen white LED appears with 400 lumen brightness. But if the lens is colored &#8212; red or amber &#8212; some of the light energy is absorbed. <\/p>\n<p>Red lenses (for example, brake lights and rear side markers) filter out all light except red, so only about 25% of the filament&#8217;s total full spectrum output makes it through the red lens. An amber lens (for example, turn signals and front side markers) filters out 40% of the full spectrum, letting 60% of the total output through. Therefore, a 400 lumen <em>white<\/em> light shining through a red lens is the equivalent of a 100 lumen <em>red<\/em> light where all the output passes through.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beam_angle\"><\/span>Beam angle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A final consideration is beam angle. If the bulb is surrounded in a bowl-like housing, a complete 360\u00b0 output is appropriate and no light is wasted. However, some bulbs are mounted in a coffin-like housing, like the license plate lights, where a limited 150-180\u00b0 angle is optimal to reduce heat and project more light in the desired direction.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"XJ6_vintage_lighting_equipment\"><\/span>XJ6 vintage lighting equipment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <em>1972

id=\"caption-attachment-3618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Front fixture with dual purpose bulb and blocked hole<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our XJ6 was fitted for special export from the U.K. back in 1972, so the front turn and running light fixture has a dual purpose bulb that was generally used for European exports, but not in the U.S. In contrast, USA direct exports used two bulbs in the front, one for turn signals and the other for running lights.<\/p>\n<p>The front fixture can be retrofitted for the standard USA two-bulb configuration by adding a new socket in the currently blocked hole. In either case, we need amber color, 360\u00b0 beams, and 420 (turn)\/100 (running) lumens. The advantage of adding a second bulb is that both front and rear turn indicators could use the exact same BA15s LED; 1156-A27-T from SuperBrightLEDs.com meets all the requirements. The second running bulb (100 lumens) would be BA9S-AHP5, a BA9s mini bayonet. <\/p>\n<p>Sockets are either snap-in mounts that are project through the back of the light fixture, or have tabs that are soldered or riveted to the fixture. Tab mounts fully extend the socket body into the fixture space. A snap-in style projects the socket body through the back end of the housing so that bulb is partially recessed into the housing. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3647\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-12-at-10.00.18-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3647\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-12-at-10.00.18-PM-330x174.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"174\" class=\"align-left\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Single wire pigtail Cole Hersee BA9 snap-in socket 2505<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If grounded immediately to the light frame, only a one-wire pigtail is required, otherwise the pigtail needs two wires for remote grounding of single bulbs. <\/p>\n<p>The XJ6 front housing can handle new BA9 sockets with snap-in mounts through the 5\/8&#8243; diameter blocked hole.

Our original lens is all red (due to our special export model), but aftermarket two-color red\/amber lens are available. A red color is required at high 420 lumen output for the brake indicator and about 100 lumens for the running light with a 360\u00b0 beam.

First, our clear lenses have become pitted with age.
