What Is the NEW AGE 1122 Lamp Base, Outline Lamp?
How the HB1/HB5 Base Works
The 1122 is a replacement socket base for truck and trailer outline (clearance) lamps. It accepts HB1 and HB5 bulbs. Two pins. Twist lock. The base mounts to your vehicle body. The lens clips over the top. No need to replace the entire lamp assembly.
Why Outline Lamp Bases Fail
UV destroys plastic. Fifteen years of sun exposure makes the base brittle. Vibration cracks the mounting tabs. Corrosion eats the bulb contacts. The 1122 replaces just the failed part. Your existing lens and wiring stay in place.

When and Why to Replace
1122 Symptoms — What to Watch For
Symptom one — Bulb won’t stay seated. Push the HB1 in. It falls out. The twist lock tabs inside the base have snapped. Your outline lamp works intermittently then not at all.
Symptom two — Corroded bulb contacts. The bulb looks fine. The base contacts are green or black. Power cannot flow through corrosion. Clean contacts failed months ago. Now the metal is flaking.
Symptom three — Base cracked at screw holes. The plastic around the mounting screw has split. The lamp wobbles on the body. Vibration will snap it off completely at 60mph.
Fix Trailer Outline Lamp Failure — Replace Only the Base
The lens is fine. The wiring is fine. The bulb is new. But your outline lamp still fails because the base is dead. Swap the 1122. Keep your existing lens. Keep your existing wiring. Five minute fix.
Why Choose the NEW AGE 1122 Lamp Base, Outline Lamp?
HB1 and HB5 dual compatibility
One base fits both bulb types. HB1 for standard outline lamps. HB5 for higher output where specified. The 1122 accepts either. No need to match the old base type. No returns because you ordered the wrong variant.
Drop-in replacement for major brands

£1.99 saves buying a full lamp unit
A complete outline lamp assembly costs £12 to £25. The base fails most often. The lens rarely breaks. The wiring almost never fails. The 1122 fixes the actual problem. Your workshop budget stays intact.

Installing the NEW AGE 1122 Lamp Base, Outline Lamp
H3: Step-by-Step 1122 Fitting Guide
Isolate the trailer lighting circuit. Disconnect from the tow vehicle.
Remove the lens. Usually two clips or one centre screw.
Remove the HB1 or HB5 bulb from the old base.
Unscrew the old base from the vehicle body. Usually two self-tapping screws.
Disconnect the two wires from the old base terminals. Note polarity if marked — but incandescent lamps work either way.
Connect wires to the new 1122 base. Push-fit terminals or screw terminals depending on version.
Screw the new base to the vehicle body. Use stainless steel screws — not mild steel.
Fit the HB1 or HB5 bulb. Twist clockwise until it locks.
Clip or screw the lens back onto the base.
Test function before returning to service.
Professional fitting time: 5 minutes per lamp.
FAQs — Outline Lamp
Will the 1122 fit my LED outline lamp?
No. LED outline lamps have integrated electronics. The 1122 is for HB1/HB5 filament bulb lamps only. If your lamp is sealed LED, replace the whole unit.
My HB5 bulb fits but the lens won’t close. What is wrong?
HB5 bulbs are slightly taller than HB1. Some shallow lens designs only accept HB1. Check your lens depth. If it will not close, use an HB1 bulb instead.
The base fits but my existing lens is loose. Why?
The 1122 matches NEW AGE original dimensions. If your lens is from another brand, the clip positions may differ. Replace the lens with a NEW AGE lens or keep the lens from your original base.
Can I use this base with 24V bulbs?
Yes. HB1 and HB5 bulbs are available in 12V and 24V. The 1122 base has no voltage rating. It simply holds the bulb and connects the wires. Use the correct voltage bulb for your truck — 12V or 24V.
One of the terminal screws is missing. Is that normal?
Some 1122 bases use push-fit terminals without screws. Others have screw terminals with both screws included. If yours arrived missing a screw, contact your supplier before fitting.
