Additional Notes

The Dodge Meadowbrook uses the ANSI 63 bulb for the license plate position across all listed model years, spanning 1950-1954.
The 63 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function only, with no secondary filament for an additional mode such as dimming or braking.
The 63 bulb operates on a 12-volt electrical system, consistent with the 12V automotive standard that became prevalent in passenger vehicles during the early 1950s.
At 0.63 watts, the 63 bulb draws very little power, which is typical for license plate illumination, as the application requires only enough light to make the plate visible rather than to illuminate a wide area.
The 63 bulb uses a BA9s base, a miniature single-contact bayonet fitting with a 9mm cap body, which is a compact base type commonly found in low-wattage indicator and auxiliary lighting roles.
The BA9s base type is not interchangeable with other common automotive base types such as the wedge base or the larger BAY9s, and substituting a bulb with a different base would require a different socket.
The ANSI 63 designation indicates the bulb conforms to a standardized specification recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning bulbs from different manufacturers carrying the 63 designation share the same electrical and base characteristics.
