Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle VT750 Shadow uses two distinct bulb types for the license plate position across its model years: the 168 and the 67.
The 168 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canada markets.
The 67 bulb is a single-filament type with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 8W, and is also an ANSI-standard part for US and Canada markets.
The BA15s bayonet base of the 67 bulb is mechanically incompatible with the wedge socket used by the 168, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable.
The 67 bulb draws 8W, while the 168 draws 4.9W, reflecting a difference in power consumption between the two fitments used across the model range.
The 67 is noted as a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb, sharing the same BA15s bayonet base but operating at reduced wattage.
The Honda Motorcycle VT750 Shadow (2004-2020) takes the 168 bulb for the license plate position, covering seventeen consecutive model years with a single bulb specification.
The 1998-2003 model years use the 67 bulb, representing a separate fitment generation for the license plate position on this motorcycle.
