Additional Notes

The Hino FB14 license plate bulb specifications cover model years 1987-1991, split across two distinct bulb types.
The bulb 67 is an ANSI-standardized single-filament type operating at 12V and 8W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base, and is specified for the Hino FB14 across the 1989-1991 model years.
The BA15s base is a single-contact bayonet mount, meaning the socket accepts only single-filament bulbs and is not compatible with dual-filament alternatives without modification.
The bulb 1157 is an ANSI-standardized dual-filament type with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V and 21W/5W, and applies to the 1987-1988 model years.
The BAY15d base differs from the BA15s in that it carries two contacts offset at different heights, a physical feature that prevents cross-installation between the two bulb types.
The wattage difference between the two types is notable. The 67 draws 8W on its single filament, while the 1157 draws 21W on its primary filament and 5W on its secondary, making the two electrically incompatible as direct substitutes.
The 67 is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156, sharing the same BA15s base but producing less light output due to its reduced wattage.
The base type change between the 1988 and 1989 model years reflects a shift from a dual-contact BAY15d socket to a single-contact BA15s socket, which represents a hardware-level difference in the license plate lamp assembly.
