Additional Notes

The 1155 and 97 bulbs are the two license plate bulb types specified for the Dodge B200, covering the 1975-1980 model years.
Both the 1155 and 97 are ANSI-standardized bulbs recognized in the US and Canada, each operating on a 12-volt electrical system.
Both bulb types share the BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact base design that uses a pin offset to ensure consistent orientation during installation.
Both the 1155 and 97 are single-filament bulbs, meaning each serves a single lighting function rather than combining two functions in one unit.
Both bulbs are classified as variants of the 1156, a widely used automotive bulb, though they differ from each other in wattage output.
The 1155 is rated at 21 watts, while the 97 is rated at 13 watts, representing a notable difference in power draw between the two bulb types.
The Dodge B200 used the 97 bulb for the 1975-1979 model years, while the 1980 model year transitioned to the higher-wattage 1155.
Although the 1155 and 97 share the same BA15s base, their wattage ratings differ, and substituting one for the other may not align with the original electrical specifications for a given model year.
