Additional Notes

The bulb type 67 is an ANSI-standardized single-filament bulb operating at 12 volts and 8 watts, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base.
The Volvo WAH uses the type 67 bulb for the license plate position across the 1996-1998 model years.
The BA15s base is a single-contact bayonet fitting, which is not interchangeable with the BA15d double-contact base used on some other automotive bulbs.
The type 67 shares the same BA15s base as the 1156 but draws less wattage, making the two types non-interchangeable despite their physical similarities.
