Additional Notes

The Dodge Dart uses two distinct bulb types across its production years for the license plate position: the 168 and the 67.
The 168 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W, conforming to ANSI standards recognized in both the US and Canada. Its wedge base design means it is held in place by the socket itself rather than by a locking mechanism.
The Dodge Dart (2013-2016) takes the 168 bulb for the license plate position.
The 67 bulb uses a BA15s single-contact bayonet base and is rated at 12V and 8W, also under ANSI standards for the US and Canada. The BA15s base requires an insert-and-twist motion to seat and lock into its socket.
The Dodge Dart (1960-1971) takes the 67 bulb for the license plate position.
At 8W, the 67 draws noticeably more power than the 4.9W 168, reflecting a difference in electrical load between the two generations of the vehicle.
The 67 is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb. While the two share the BA15s bayonet base, they are not the same bulb, and substituting a 1156 in place of a 67 would result in a higher wattage draw than the socket position was designed for.
The wedge base of the 168 and the bayonet base of the 67 are physically incompatible socket types, making the two bulbs non-interchangeable regardless of voltage rating.
