Additional Notes

The Chevrolet K-Series Pickup uses three distinct license plate bulb types across its model years: the 194, 67, and 97, all of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The 194 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W. Its wedge-style base requires no metal socket pins, as the glass envelope itself acts as the retention mechanism within the housing.
The 194 bulb is specified for the Chevrolet K-Series Pickup across the 1988-2000 model years, making it the most widely used license plate bulb type in this vehicle's history.
The 67 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 8W. It is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156, meaning it shares the same base type but draws less power.
The 97 also uses a BA15s bayonet base and is rated at 12V and 13W. It is similarly described as a variant of the 1156, though at a higher wattage than the 67.
Because the 67 and 97 share the same BA15s bayonet base, their physical mounting interface is identical. However, their wattage ratings differ, and they are not interchangeable across the model years for which each is specified.
The 67 bulb is specified for the 1981-1986 model years of the K-Series Pickup, while the 97 is specified for the 1975-1979 model years.
The wedge base of the 194 is physically incompatible with the BA15s bayonet socket used by the 67 and 97, meaning bulbs from the later model year specification cannot be fitted into housings designed for the earlier ones.
