Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle VF700C Magna uses the ANSI 67 bulb for the license plate position across all documented model years, spanning 1984-1987.
The ANSI 67 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function only, which is consistent with the straightforward illumination requirements of a license plate light.
The 67 bulb operates at 12 volts and 8 watts, placing it in the low-power range typical of auxiliary lighting applications such as license plate lamps.
The 67 bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet fitting. The "s" designation in BA15s indicates a single contact point at the base, as opposed to the dual-contact BA15d variant.
The 67 bulb is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156. While the 1156 also uses a BA15s bayonet base and single filament, it operates at a higher wattage of approximately 26.9 watts, making the two bulbs physically interchangeable in base type but electrically distinct.
Because the 67 and 1156 share the same BA15s base, there is a fitment risk if substitution is attempted. Installing a higher-wattage 1156 in place of the specified 67 would exceed the original wattage rating of the socket and wiring circuit on the VF700C Magna.
The ANSI 67 designation is a standardized bulb code recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating consistent availability across North American markets.
