The Dodge Spirit side marker requires a 916 bulb size for the lighting assembly located on the exterior of the vehicle. Data for 1995 through 1995 provides the specific information for the required component.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Spirit 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.
The 916 bulb is a wedge type with a T15 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 18 watts, making it a notably higher-wattage lamp than the 168.
The T10 and T15 designations refer to the tubular envelope width of the bulb, with T10 indicating a narrower profile than T15. These two types are not interchangeable despite sharing the same wedge base style, due to differences in physical size and wattage.
The Dodge Spirit front side marker position uses the 168 bulb uniformly across all model years from 1989-1995.
The rear side marker position on the Dodge Spirit shows variation between the 168 and 916 bulbs depending on the model year, which means the rear socket specification is not consistent across the full production run.
The 916 bulb appears in the rear side marker position for the 1989-1991 and 1993 model years.
The 168 bulb is specified for the rear side marker in the 1992, 1994, and 1995 model years.
Because the rear side marker bulb type changes between certain model years, confirming the exact year of the vehicle is necessary before selecting a replacement rear side marker bulb for the Dodge Spirit.
The front and rear side marker positions do not share the same bulb type across all years, so a single bulb size does not serve both positions on every Dodge Spirit model year.
