Additional Notes

The bulb 67 is an ANSI-standardized type recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts and 8 watts with a single filament and a BA15s bayonet base.
The BA15s bayonet base uses a single contact pin, which physically distinguishes it from dual-contact bayonet bases and prevents cross-installation with incompatible socket types.
The 67 bulb is a lower-wattage variant of the 1156, meaning the two share the same BA15s base but differ in wattage output, making them non-interchangeable despite their physical similarity.
The American Motors Rebel uses the 67 bulb for its license plate position across the 1958-1961 and 1966-1970 model years.
Because the 1156 shares the same bayonet base as the 67, it is physically possible to seat a 1156 in a 67 socket, though the higher wattage of the 1156 makes it an incompatible substitute for this application.
