Dodge Shadow front and rear side marker bulbs utilize 168 and 916 bulb sizes depending on location and model variation. The replacement chart documents vehicle production years spanning 1987 to 1994 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 Dodge Shadow uses two bulb types across its side marker positions: the 168 and the 916, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 168 bulb is a miniature wedge type with a T10 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of parking and marker lamp applications.
The 916 bulb is a wedge type with a T15 form factor, also rated at 12 volts but drawing 18 watts, making it considerably more powerful than the 168 despite sharing the same wedge base category.
The front side marker position on the Dodge Shadow uses the 168 bulb uniformly across all model years from 1987-1994.
The rear side marker position does not share the same consistency, as the bulb specification changes depending on the model year.
The Dodge Shadow rear side marker uses the 168 bulb for the 1987 and 1988 model years, then transitions to the 916 bulb for 1989-1993.
The 1994 Dodge Shadow rear side marker returns to the 168 bulb, aligning it with the front side marker specification for that year.
Because the T10 and T15 wedge bases differ in physical size, the 168 and 916 bulbs are not interchangeable, and substituting one for the other in a given socket is not supported by these specifications.
