Additional Notes

The 168 bulb is the sole license plate bulb size listed for the Chrysler LHS across all model years in the specifications, covering 1994-2001.
The 168 is an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, which places it within a regulated performance and dimensional framework shared across many North American vehicle applications.
It belongs to the T10 miniature wedge form factor, a base type that uses a wedge-shaped plastic body in place of a metal screw or bayonet base, securing directly into a friction-fit socket.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
Its rated wattage of 4.9W reflects a low power draw typical of license plate illumination, a position that requires visibility rather than high output.
Because the 168 uses a wedge base, fitment depends on socket compatibility with the T10 form factor rather than a threaded or bayonet interface.
The 168 and the closely related 194 bulb share the same T10 wedge base and voltage rating, though the 194 draws 3.8W versus the 168 at 4.9W, making them physically interchangeable in many sockets despite the difference in wattage output.
