Additional Notes

The Acura SLX uses the 168 bulb size for the map light across all listed model years, spanning 1996-1999.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, meaning it conforms to a recognized North American specification used in both the United States and Canada.
This bulb is a miniature wedge type, designated T10, which refers to its tubular glass envelope and wedge-style base that seats directly into a socket without a separate metal base or pins.
The 168 bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 bulb draws a relatively low amount of power, which is typical for interior courtesy and reading light applications.
The T10 wedge base format is shared across a wide range of automotive bulb part numbers, meaning physical fitment alone does not confirm electrical compatibility with a given socket.
