Peterbilt 362 License Plate Bulb Size

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.
