Volvo VHD Map Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The bulb size 67 is the most frequently specified map light bulb across the Volvo VHD, covering model years 2001-2012 and 2015, while bulb size 5008 is specified for 2013-2014.
• Both the 67 and 5008 bulbs share the same BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact base design where a single pin is positioned on the side of the bulb's metal cap.
• The BA15s base type is identical between the two bulbs, which means the physical mounting interface is the same for all model years listed in the specifications.
• Both bulbs are single-filament designs, meaning each contains one tungsten filament and is intended for a single lighting function rather than dual-purpose applications such as combined stop and tail lighting.
• Both the 67 and 5008 are described as lower wattage variants of the 1156 bulb, indicating they share the same base and general form factor as the 1156 but draw less power.
• The 67 bulb operates at 12V and 8W, placing it in the low-power range typical of interior lighting applications such as map and dome lights.
• The 5008 bulb operates at 12V, consistent with the standard automotive electrical system voltage shared with the 67 bulb.
• Despite the shared BA15s base, the 67 and 5008 are distinct part numbers, and substituting one for the other without confirming wattage compatibility for the specific model year is not supported by the specifications.
• Both bulbs conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating they meet a defined set of dimensional and electrical performance criteria for those markets.
• The Volvo VHD map light socket is designed for a BA15s bayonet-style bulb across all fifteen model years represented in the specifications.
