DAMA 1157 Female Wire Harness - Connector for Tail/Brake/Turn/Reverse Light 4.5" 18AWG | Pack of 2

DAMA 1157 Female Wire Harness - Connector for Tail/Brake/Turn/Reverse Light 4.5" 18AWG | Pack of 2

The DAMA 1157 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 a straight female 1157 / BAY15d dual-contact style socket. This aftermarket pigtail is designed to replace worn, brittle, or heat-damaged factory bulb sockets, helping to restore electrical connectivity across dual-circuit tail light, brake light, and turn signal systems. This pack of two is intended to splice into your existing electrical wiring loom, providing a secure receptacle for standard replacement lamps or compatible LED upgrades.

Key Features & Benefits

• Replacement Socket Solution: Serves as a practical replacement component to repair damaged or corroded 1157/BAY15d-style bulb sockets.
• Dual-Circuit Wiring Design: Built with a 3-wire layout using 18AWG leads, making it ideal for dual-contact configurations that govern independent low- and high-intensity circuits.
• Incandescent & LED Bulb Compatibility: Compatible with many standard replacement incandescent lamps and LED replacement bulbs utilizing the same BAY15d socket base.
• Secure Socket Fitment: The female socket base ensures a stable hold to maintain continuous electrical contact for the inserted bulb.
• Bulb Cross-Compatibility: Engineered to connect with many popular dual-contact indexing bulbs, including common 1157-family applications like 1157, 2057, 2357, and P21/5W sizes.

Vehicle Compatibility & Applications

This product is a universal pigtail connector compatible with vehicles that utilize standard 1157/BAY15d-style light 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

Disclaimer: Because housing configurations, mounting tab styles, and wire layouts vary across vehicle makes, models, and trims, always visually verify your original factory plug style and installation clearance before ordering. Separate auxiliary load resistors or CANBUS decoders are required to resolve independent LED hyper-flashing or dashboard bulb-out codes, as this socket does not alter circuit resistance.

Installation Information

This replacement wire harness features 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, a low-intensity circuit, and a 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 Straight 1156 Sockets
(Straight connectors are often the industry default when the light housing sits in a spacious area, or when the bulb inserts from an open, easily accessible panel.)

• Domestic Trucks & Large SUVs: Because these vehicles often have deeper cavities behind the tail light housings and flat rear quarter panels, they rarely run into clearance issues. Sockets regularly exit straight back into the bed or body cavity.
• Traditional Sedans and Select Japanese Imports: Standard trunk layouts frequently feature a carpeted liner with a wide, open void between the inner metal sheet panel and the plastic lens assembly, making straight sockets a very common fit.
• Tailgate-Mounted Reverse Lights: When the light assembly is physically mounted onto a lifting trunk lid or tailgate, the interior cavity of the lid is usually deep enough to let a straight harness drop naturally into the factory loom.
