Additional Notes

The bulb type specified across all listed years of the Kawasaki KLF185 Bayou is the ANSI 67, a single-filament bulb operating at 12 volts and 8 watts with a BA15s bayonet base.
The BA15s base designation indicates a single-contact bayonet fitting with a 15mm base width, which is not interchangeable with dual-contact bayonet bases such as BA15d.
The ANSI 67 bulb is a lower-wattage variant of the 1156, drawing 8W compared to the 1156's 21W. Despite sharing the same BA15s base, substituting a 1156 in place of a 67 would introduce a significantly higher electrical load to the circuit.
The 67 bulb is recognized under ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada, reflecting a standardized specification rather than a proprietary or manufacturer-specific part number.
The single-filament construction of the ANSI 67 means it serves one lighting function only, distinguishing it from dual-filament bulbs that combine stop and tail functions within a single housing.
The tail light bulb size for the KLF185 Bayou remained consistent at the ANSI 67 across the 1985-1988 model years.
