Peterbilt 200 License Plate Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Peterbilt 200 license plate bulb specifications reference two ANSI-standard bulb types: the 67 and the 97. Both are single-filament bulbs with a BA15s bayonet base and operate at 12 volts, making them part of the same base family as the 1156.
• The 67 bulb is rated at 8 watts and is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156. The 97 bulb draws 13 watts and is classified as a variant of the 1156, placing it at a higher output within the same bulb family.
• Although the 67 and 97 share the same BA15s bayonet base, their wattage ratings differ by 5 watts. This distinction means the two types are not interchangeable without accounting for the electrical load difference, even though physical fitment may be possible.
• The 67 bulb is the specified fitment for the Peterbilt 200 across the 1993-2000 model years under standard configuration, representing the most consistently listed bulb type across the data set.
• For the 1993-1997 model years, the Peterbilt 200 equipped with Halogen Capsule Headlamps takes the 97 bulb rather than the 67, indicating that the headlamp system type is a determining factor in the correct license plate bulb selection for those years.
• The City Delivery configuration of the Peterbilt 200, covering the 1974-1978 model years, exclusively uses the 97 bulb, with no alternative fitment listed for that body configuration.
• The BA15s bayonet base used by both the 67 and 97 features a single contact pin offset to one side, which mechanically distinguishes it from the dual-contact BA15d base and ensures correct polarity orientation during installation.
• Both the 67 and 97 bulb types carry ANSI certification valid for both the United States and Canada, indicating compliance with standardized performance and dimensional requirements recognized across North American markets.
