Daihatsu Charade front and rear side marker bulbs utilize a 168 size bulb for replacement applications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1988 to 1992.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Daihatsu Charade uses the 168 bulb for both front and rear side marker positions across the 1988-1992 model years.
The 168 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its physical and electrical specifications conform to a defined North American standard used in the United States and Canada.
The 168 bulb is a miniature wedge type, classified under the T10 form factor. The wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by the socket itself rather than by a separate metal base with pins.
The 168 operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of side marker applications where continuous illumination is required without significant heat output.
Because the same bulb size is specified for both the front and rear side marker positions on the Daihatsu Charade, a single bulb type serves all four side marker sockets on the vehicle.
The T10 wedge form factor is shared by several bulb numbers, including the 194 and 168. However, these types differ in wattage, and substituting one for another may result in incorrect light output or potential socket incompatibility.
