A. Angular locations, diameters, key/keyway sizes, and any other
interchangeability dimensions for indexing the bulb base in the
bulb holder.
B. Diameter, width, depth, and surface finish of seal groove,
surface, or other pertinent sealing features.
C. Diameter of the bulb base at the interface of the base and
its perpendicular reference surface.
D. Dimensions of features related to retention of the bulb base
in the bulb holder such as tabs, keys, keyways, surfaces, etc.
IV. Bulb Holder Interchangeability Dimensions and Tolerance
A. Mating angular locations, diameters, key/keyway sizes, and
any other interchangeability dimensions for indexing the bulb base
in the bulb holder.
B. Mating diameter, width, depth, and surface finish of seal
groove, surface, or other pertinent sealing features.
C. Mating diameter of the bulb holder at the interface of the
bulb base aperture and its perpendicular reference surface.
D. Mating dimensions of features related to retention of the
bulb base in the bulb holder such as tabs, keys, keyways, surfaces,
etc.
V. Wiring Harness Connector to Bulb Base Interchangeability
Dimensions and Tolerances
A. Maximum depth of harness connector insertion into bulb
base.

necessary dimensions, key/keyway controls, and dimensions, tapers
etc.
E. Dimensions and location of locking features for wiring
harness connector to bulb base.
F. Identification of upper beam, lower beam, and common
terminals.
VI. Seal Specifications (if Replaceable Light Source is Intended to
be of a Sealed Base Design)
A. Type.
