Additional Notes

The Dodge Lancer uses three distinct bulb types across its license plate lighting specifications: the 168, 67, and 63.
The 168 is the most frequently specified bulb in the Dodge Lancer license plate fitment, covering the 1985-1989 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard for the US and Canada and is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W.
The wedge base of the 168 bulb requires no separate metal base, as the glass envelope itself forms the contact points for the socket.
The 67 bulb is specified for the 1956-1957 and 1959-1962 Dodge Lancer, making it the second most common license plate bulb type in these specifications.
The 67 uses a BA15s single-contact bayonet base and is rated at 12V and 8W, placing it at a higher wattage than the 168 and considerably higher than the 63.
The 67 is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156, meaning the two share the same BA15s bayonet base but differ in wattage output, which makes them non-interchangeable despite the physical similarity.
The 63 bulb is specified exclusively for the 1955 Dodge Lancer and carries a BA9s base, which is a smaller bayonet fitting than the BA15s used by the 67, making the two physically incompatible.
At 0.63W, the 63 bulb operates at a substantially lower power level than either the 168 or the 67, reflecting the lower electrical output typical of mid-1950s automotive lighting systems.
All three bulb types in these specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets.
