Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Camaro uses the 161 bulb for the check engine light across the 1993-2002 model years.
The 161 is classified as a T10 miniature wedge bulb, a form factor that uses a wedge-shaped base in place of a metal contact pin, securing the bulb directly into its socket through friction.
The 161 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 1 watt, placing it among the lower-wattage bulbs used in automotive instrument and warning light applications.
The 161 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning its electrical and physical characteristics follow a defined industry specification rather than a proprietary design.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular envelope, with the number indicating a width of 10 eighths of an inch, a sizing convention common in miniature automotive bulbs.
Because the 161 is a wedge-type bulb, it is physically interchangeable with other T10 wedge bulbs that share the same voltage and wattage ratings, though substitutions outside those parameters risk improper illumination or socket damage.
