Additional Notes

The bulb size 67 is an ANSI-standard single-filament bulb rated at 12V and 8W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base. It is a lower-wattage variant of the more common 1156 bulb, which shares the same base type but operates at a higher wattage.
The Kawasaki KLT185 uses the 67 bulb for the tail light across its 1986-1987 model years, meaning both years share the same fitment without variation.
The BA15s base designation indicates a single-contact bayonet mount with a 15mm base width. This base type is not interchangeable with the BA15d, which carries two contact pins and is used in dual-filament applications.
Because the 67 bulb operates at 8W rather than the 26.9W of the 1156, substituting a standard 1156 in place of the 67 would exceed the original wattage specification for the KLT185 tail light circuit.
