Additional Notes

The Dodge Mini Ram uses the 168 bulb size for the license plate position across the 1984-1988 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, meaning it conforms to a specification recognized across the United States and Canada for automotive lighting applications.
This bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type, which refers to its wedge-shaped base that holds the bulb in place without a separate metal socket or pins.
The 168 operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of auxiliary lighting functions such as license plate illumination.
The wedge base design of the T10 format means the bulb is held by tension from the socket walls rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism, which affects how it is seated and removed.
Because the 168 is an ANSI-standardized bulb, it shares its T10 wedge form factor with several other bulb numbers in the same family, though wattage and voltage ratings may differ between those variants and should be confirmed before substitution.
