Additional Notes

The Jeep J10 license plate bulb specifications cover model years 1974 through 1988, with two distinct bulb sizes used across that span.
Both the 67 and 97 bulbs follow ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada, and both feature a BA15s single-contact bayonet base with a single filament.
The BA15s bayonet base uses a single contact pin offset to one side, which allows the bulb to seat in only one orientation within its socket.
The Jeep J10 used the 97 bulb for model years 1974-1984, operating at 12 volts and 13 watts.
The 67 bulb applies to model years 1985-1988, also rated at 12 volts but drawing only 8 watts, making it a lower-wattage variant compared to the 97.
Although both bulbs share the BA15s bayonet base and are variants of the 1156 bulb family, the wattage difference between the 97 (13W) and the 67 (8W) means they are not direct drop-in replacements for one another without accounting for that electrical difference.
The shared BA15s base between the 67 and 97 means physical fitment in the socket is possible for either bulb, but the wattage variance is a relevant factor when sourcing a replacement for a specific model year.
