The Dodge Neon side marker requires a 168 bulb size for the lighting components located on the exterior of the vehicle. Data for the specific bulb requirements covers the 2001 to 2003 range.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Neon front side marker uses the 168 bulb across the 1996-2005 model years, making it the most consistently specified bulb in this fitment data.
The 168 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 4.9W, placing it among the lower-wattage bulbs in the ANSI standard lineup.
The 1995 Dodge Neon front side marker departs from the 168 specification, instead requiring the 3157NA, a T25 dual-filament wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 27W/7W output.
The dual-filament design of the 3157NA means it carries two separate filaments operating at different wattages, a configuration that is not interchangeable with the single-filament 168 used in later model years.
The natural amber glass of the 3157NA produces a colored output directly from the bulb itself, whereas the 168 relies on the lens housing to produce any amber coloring.
The rear side marker on the Dodge Neon uses the 916 bulb for the 1995-1999 model years, a T15 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 18W.
At 18W, the 916 operates at a notably higher wattage than the 168 used at the front, and the two bulbs are not interchangeable due to differences in physical size and wattage rating.
All three bulb types specified for the Dodge Neon, the 168, 3157NA, and 916, conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
