Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Beretta ash tray position uses two distinct bulb types across its production run: the 161 and the 168, both of which are ANSI-standardized miniature wedge bulbs rated at 12 volts.
Both the 161 and 168 share the same T10 wedge base form factor, meaning they are physically similar in shape and base type.
Despite sharing the T10 base, the 161 and 168 differ significantly in wattage. The 161 draws 1 watt, while the 168 draws 4.9 watts, making them electrically non-equivalent and not interchangeable without consideration of the circuit's design tolerances.
The 161 bulb was specified for the Chevrolet Beretta ash tray across the 1987-1993 model years, representing the majority of the vehicle's production span covered by these specifications.
The 1994 Chevrolet Beretta ash tray position uses the 168 bulb rather than the 161, marking a departure from the specification used in prior model years.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating consistent regulatory compliance across the fitment range.
