Additional Notes

The Dodge Daytona uses the 168 bulb for its license plate light across the 1984-1993 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, which is the recognized specification body for bulb classifications in the United States and Canada.
It belongs to the T10 form factor, a miniature wedge-base bulb that connects by pressing directly into a wedge-style socket without a separate metal base or pins.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 is a low-wattage bulb, a characteristic typical of license plate and other auxiliary lighting positions that require minimal illumination.
The wedge base design of the T10 means the bulb is held in place by the tension of the socket itself, making it a tool-free replacement in most housings.
Because the 168 is an ANSI-classified bulb, it conforms to standardized physical and electrical tolerances, which allows for interchangeability among bulbs carrying the same ANSI designation from different manufacturers.
The T10 wedge category includes several bulb numbers with similar physical profiles, so voltage and wattage ratings should be confirmed before substituting a different T10-style bulb in place of the 168.
