Additional Notes

The Peterbilt 362 uses two bulb sizes for its license plate position: the 67 and the 97, both of which follow ANSI standards recognized in the US and Canada.
Both the 67 and the 97 are single-filament bulbs sharing the same BA15s bayonet base, meaning the physical base type does not differ between the two sizes.
Although the 67 and the 97 share the BA15s base, they are not electrically interchangeable. The 67 operates at 8W while the 97 operates at 13W, both on a 12V system.
Both bulb sizes are variants of the 1156 family, with the 67 representing the lower-wattage version and the 97 sitting closer to the standard 1156 output level.
The Peterbilt 362 uses the 67 bulb as the license plate bulb across the full 1986-2006 model year range covered in the specifications.
For model years 1986-1997, the Peterbilt 362 equipped with halogen capsule headlamps takes the 97 bulb in the license plate position rather than the 67.
From 1998 onward, only the 67 bulb size is listed, with no halogen capsule headlamp variant noted for those years.
The halogen capsule headlamp configuration is the sole conditional fitment factor identified in the specifications, and it directly determines which of the two bulb sizes applies to a given vehicle.
