Volvo 264 front and rear side marker bulbs utilize 67, 257, and 57 bulb sizes depending on location and production specifications. The replacement chart covers 1976 through 1982 model years with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Volvo 264 front side marker position uses the bulb size 67 for model years 1976-1977 and 1980-1982, making it the most frequently specified bulb across both marker positions in this vehicle.
The bulb 67 is an ANSI-standard single-filament type rated at 12V and 8W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base. It is classified as a lower-wattage variant of the 1156 bulb, which shares the same base type but operates at a higher wattage.
The 1978 Volvo 264 is specified with bulb size 257 for both the front and rear side marker positions, distinguishing that model year from all others in the dataset.
The bulb 257 is an ANSI-standard type rated at 12V and 2W, fitted with either a festoon or BA9s base. Its significantly lower wattage relative to the 67 means the two bulbs are not interchangeable despite both being used in side marker roles on this model.
The rear side marker position for the 1980 Volvo 264 uses bulb size 57, which is an ANSI-standard single-filament bulb rated at 12V and 1W with a BA9s base.
The bulb 57 and the bulb 257 both use a BA9s base, but their wattage ratings differ at 1W and 2W respectively. This base compatibility does not make them functionally interchangeable, as wattage affects light output and circuit load.
The rear side marker position is not specified for model years 1981 and 1982, while the front side marker position carries a bulb 67 specification for those same years.
The BA15s bayonet base of the bulb 67 is physically incompatible with the BA9s base of both the 57 and 257 bulbs, meaning front and rear side marker bulbs on the 264 cannot be substituted for one another in years where different bulb types are specified across positions.
Across the full range of model years covered, three distinct bulb sizes appear in the side marker specifications for the Volvo 264, each with a different base type and wattage rating.
The 1977 Volvo 264 shares bulb size 67 for both the front and rear side marker positions, making it one of the model years where a single bulb type serves both locations.
