Additional Notes

The Hino FF17 license plate bulb specifications cover the 1987-1991 model years, with two distinct bulb types used across that span.
The bulb 67 is an ANSI-standard single-filament type rated at 12V and 8W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base, and it serves the Hino FF17 for the 1989-1991 model years.
The BA15s base features a single contact pin, which makes it incompatible with sockets designed for offset or dual-pin bayonet bases.
The bulb 1157 is an ANSI-standard dual-filament type rated at 12V with a 21W/5W output, fitted with a BAY15d bayonet base, and it applies to the 1987-1988 model years.
The BAY15d base uses two offset pins to prevent incorrect insertion, a physical characteristic that distinguishes it from the BA15s base used by the 67 bulb.
The 67 bulb is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156, drawing 8W compared to the higher output of that related type.
The 1157 carries two filaments operating at different wattages, a design that serves functions requiring both a running level and a brighter activated level, though in this application it is specified solely for the license plate position.
The transition between bulb types occurs between the 1988 and 1989 model years of the Hino FF17, where the specification shifts from the dual-filament 1157 to the single-filament 67.
The 67 and 1157 bulbs share the same 12V operating voltage but differ in base type, filament count, and wattage, making them non-interchangeable despite the voltage match.
