Additional Notes

The Edsel Villager uses two bulb types across its model years for the license plate position: the ANSI 67 and the ANSI 89.
Both the 67 and 89 are ANSI-standardized bulbs recognized in the US and Canada, each built around a BA15s single-contact bayonet base.
Both bulbs carry a single filament and operate on a 12-volt system, placing them in the same general family as the widely known 1156, though at reduced wattage.
The 67 bulb draws 8 watts, while the 89 draws 13 watts, meaning the two are not electrically equivalent despite sharing the same BA15s base type.
The shared BA15s base between the 67 and 89 means physical installation is possible in either socket, but the wattage difference makes them non-interchangeable without consideration of the circuit's design.
The 1960 Edsel Villager uses the 67 bulb for the license plate position, the same type fitted to the 1958 model.
The 1959 Edsel Villager is the sole model year in these specifications to use the 89 bulb for the license plate position.
