Additional Notes

The 168 bulb is the license plate bulb size for the Dodge B1500 across the 1995-1998 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, meaning it conforms to a recognized North American specification used in both the United States and Canada.
It is a T10 miniature wedge bulb, a form factor that uses a wedge-shaped base rather than a metal contact pin, allowing it to seat directly into a compatible socket without a separate holder.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, which aligns with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
Its rated power draw is 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of license plate and courtesy lighting applications.
The T10 wedge base type is widely shared across many automotive lighting positions, though fitment into a specific socket depends on the socket design of the vehicle in question.
