Additional Notes

The Mercury Villager uses three distinct bulb types across its license plate bulb specifications: the 194, the 1155, and the 67.
The 194 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W. Its wedge base design means it requires no separate metal base, as the glass envelope itself acts as the retention mechanism when inserted into the socket.
The Mercury Villager (1993-2002) uses the 194 bulb for the license plate position across all ten model years in that range.
The 1155 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 21W. It is described as a variant of the more widely known 1156, which means the two share the same base type but differ in wattage output.
The 67 is also a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 8W. It is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156, placing it in the same bayonet base family as the 1155 but at a significantly reduced power draw.
The 1155 and 67 share the same BA15s bayonet base, but their wattage ratings differ substantially at 21W and 8W respectively. Despite the shared base type, substituting one for the other would result in a different light output and power draw than the original specification.
The Mercury Villager used the 1155 bulb for the license plate position across the 1963-1967 model years.
All three bulb types in these specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
The 1962 Mercury Villager uses the 67 bulb for the license plate position, which is the sole model year in the specifications assigned that bulb type.
The 194 at 3.78W draws considerably less power than either the 1155 at 21W or the 67 at 8W, reflecting the different socket and base technologies used across the Villager's production span.
