Additional Notes

The bulb size 97 is an ANSI-standard single-filament bulb rated at 12 volts and 13 watts, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base.
The Bering MD23M uses the 97 bulb for the license plate position across its 1999-2000 model years.
The BA15s base designation indicates a single-contact bayonet fitting with a 15mm base width, which is distinct from dual-contact variants and is not interchangeable with them.
The 97 bulb is a variant of the 1156, meaning the two share the same BA15s base type, though wattage ratings between variants in the 1156 family can differ and substitutions should account for those differences.
