Chrysler Newport front and rear side marker bulbs utilize 168, 1895, and 1893 bulb sizes depending on location and model variation. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1968 to 1981 with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The bulb 168 is the most frequently specified size across the Chrysler Newport side marker data, appearing in both front and rear positions for model years 1974-1981.
The 168 bulb is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge type in a T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 4.9W.
The 1895 bulb is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge type in a T5 form factor, rated at 12V and 0.9W, making it considerably lower in wattage than the 168.
The 1893 bulb shares the same T5 form factor and 12V rating as the 1895 but draws 2W, placing it between the 1895 and the 168 in power consumption.
Although the 1895 and 1893 share the same T5 wedge form factor, they are not the same bulb and carry different wattage ratings, which is a relevant fitment consideration.
The Chrysler Newport (1972) uses a 1895 in the front side marker position and a 1893 in the rear side marker position, meaning the front and rear do not share the same bulb for that year.
The 1973 Newport front side marker takes a 168, while the rear side marker for the same year takes a 1895, again indicating non-interchangeable front and rear bulbs for that model year.
The 1968 Newport specifies a 1895 for both the front and rear side marker positions, making it the only year where both positions share the same lower-wattage T5 bulb.
From 1974 onward through 1981, both the front and rear side marker positions on the Newport are standardized to the 168 bulb, representing a consistent fitment across those years.
All three bulb types listed, the 168, 1895, and 1893, conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
