The Dodge Mirada front and rear side marker bulbs both utilize a 168 bulb size. The replacement chart covers 1980 through 1983 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 168 bulb is the sole bulb size specified for the Dodge Mirada across all side marker positions for the 1980-1983 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, classifying it as a regionally standardized automotive component.
It belongs to the T10 form factor, which describes a miniature wedge-base bulb. The wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by the socket gripping the glass envelope directly, with no separate metal base or pins.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles of that era.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 is a low-wattage bulb, typical of side marker applications where output requirements are modest compared to headlamps or brake lights.
The same bulb size, 168, is specified for both the front and rear side marker positions on the Dodge Mirada, indicating that a single bulb type serves all four side marker sockets on the vehicle.
Because the front and rear side marker sockets share the same bulb specification, a replacement 168 bulb sourced for one position is directly interchangeable with the other without modification.
