Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle VFR800 Interceptor uses two distinct license plate bulb types across its model years: the 168 and the 67, each with a different base type and wattage.
The 2014-2015 model years use the 168 bulb, a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The 1998-2009 model years use the 67 bulb, a single-filament type with a BA15s bayonet base rated at 12V and 8W, also conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The T10 wedge base of the 168 bulb and the BA15s bayonet base of the 67 bulb are physically incompatible with each other, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable across model years of the VFR800 Interceptor.
The 67 bulb is a lower wattage variant of the 1156, sharing the same BA15s bayonet base but drawing 8W rather than the 1156's typical 26.9W, which makes them physically compatible in terms of fitment but electrically distinct.
The 168 bulb at 4.9W draws notably less power than the 67 bulb at 8W, reflecting a reduction in wattage between the older and newer license plate lighting configurations on the VFR800 Interceptor.
