DAMA 1157 Angled Female Wire Harness - BAY15d Socket Connector for Tail, Brake & Turn Signal Light 4.5" 18AWG | Pack of 2

DAMA 1157 Angled Female Wire Harness - BAY15d Socket Connector for Tail, Brake & Turn Signal Light 4.5" 18AWG | Pack of 2

The DAMA 1157 Angled Female Wire Harness (Pack of 2) from HID Concept.com is a replacement socket connector designed for automotive lighting repair and retrofit applications. Built with an 18AWG wire gauge and approximately 4.5 inches of flexible lead length, these harnesses feature an angled female 1157 / BAY15d dual-contact style socket. The 90-degree right-angled layout is designed for flat-mount or low-clearance areas behind vehicle lighting assemblies, providing an alternative configuration where straight connectors may lack proper space. This pack of two is intended to replace damaged or worn 1157/BAY15d-style bulb sockets, helping to restore a proper electrical connection for tail lights, brake lights, and dual-circuit turn signals across a variety of vehicle applications.

Key Features & Benefits

• Angled Wire Exit Design: The 90-degree configuration helps provide additional clearance where installation space is limited behind the lamp housing.
• Reduced Wire Bending: The right-angle design may help reduce sharp wire bends and strain during installation in shallow spaces.
• Dual-Filament Wiring Setup: Uses 3-wire 18AWG leads designed for dual-contact BAY15d bulb applications, managing low- and high-intensity circuits cleanly.
• Restores Electrical Connections: Designed as a replacement component that may help resolve connection problems caused by damaged or worn bulb sockets.
• Dual Bulb Framework Compatibility: Fully compatible with both incandescent and LED replacement bulbs utilizing the same BAY15d socket type.
• Broad Socket Interoperability: Compatible with vehicles using 1157/BAY15d-style bulb sockets across domestic and import models.
• Verified Single-Base Compatibility: Compatible with many dual-contact BAY15d/1157-style bulbs, including common applications such as 1157, 2057, and P21/5W.

Vehicle Compatibility & Applications

This product is a universal pigtail connector compatible with vehicles that use standard 1157/BAY15d-style bulb sockets. Because of its 3-wire, dual-contact layout, it is meant for multi-function circuits where a single bulb performs two separate lighting roles.

Common dual-circuit system applications include:

• Combined tail and brake lights
• Turn signals with integrated running lights
• Daytime running lights (DRL) with integrated turn indicators

Disclaimer: Because housing configurations and wire layouts vary significantly across vehicle generations and trims, always visually verify your original factory plug style and installation clearance before ordering.

Installation Information

This replacement wire harness features pre-stripped pigtail wire leads to assist with standard splicing, crimping, or soldering into your vehicle's existing electrical wiring loom. Since this is a 3-wire system (handling ground, low-intensity circuit, and high-intensity circuit), it is recommended to test your vehicle's factory wiring orientation with a multimeter during installation to ensure proper alignment with your braking, running, or turning functions.

Vehicles That Commonly Use 90-Degree Angled 1156 Sockets
(Angled profiles are utilized when modern styling trims down clearance space, or when structural vehicle components run directly behind the lamp.)

• European Sedans & Wagons: European packaging is notoriously tight. To maximize trunk cargo volume, engineers push the interior carpet liners as close to the outer body panels as possible. This leaves a tiny, shallow gap behind the rear turn signal or brake light, making an angled wire exit necessary to keep the assembly flush.
• Sleek, Wrap-Around Corner Lights: Modern rear turn signals that wrap aggressively around the sharp rear corners of the vehicle fender often press right up against the inner structural wheel well or body framing. A straight connector would smash into the metal chassis, so a 90-degree plug is used to route the wire sideways along the contour of the plastic housing.
• Bumper-Mounted Lighting: Sockets that insert into lenses located down in the lower rear or front bumper covers frequently encounter a solid steel bumper reinforcement crash bar sitting right behind them. An angled connector is mandatory here to keep the wires from being crushed against the reinforcement beam.
