Additional Notes

The Chrysler Cirrus uses the 168 bulb for the license plate position across all listed model years, spanning 1995-2000.
The 168 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a recognized North American standard applicable in both the US and Canada.
This bulb follows the T10 form factor, which refers to a miniature wedge-base design. The wedge base eliminates the need for a separate metal base, as the glass envelope itself is pinched at the bottom to form the electrical contacts.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 draws a low level of power, which is typical for license plate illumination, a non-safety-critical lighting function.
The T10 wedge base is a widely produced form factor, and the 168 shares this base type with several other bulb numbers in the same family, such as the 194. However, wattage differences between these variants mean they are not always interchangeable without consideration of socket heat ratings.
