Additional Notes

The Dodge B3500 uses the 168 bulb size for the license plate position 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 miniature wedge-type bulb, classified under the T10 designation, which refers to its tubular shape measured in eighths of an inch.
The wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by the socket gripping its glass envelope directly, with no separate metal base or pins involved.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
Its rated wattage of 4.9W places it in the low-power range typical of illumination bulbs used for license plate lighting.
The T10 wedge form factor is shared across a wide range of vehicle makes and models, though fitment compatibility depends on the specific socket design of each vehicle.
