They still use bayonet bases for 12 volt lighting.  I have also seen interior 
12 volt lighting with bayonet bases.  Either way, screw-in or bayonet, trying 
to separate components sucks, when it's all rusted together, and you need 
trailer lights NOW!

Some light bulbs used in cars use bayonet bases. e.g. brake light and turn 
signals.
At least they used to. Not sure if they still do.
