Dodge Stealth front side marker bulbs use 3496 size while rear side marker bulbs use 168 size. The replacement chart covers 1994 to 1996 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Stealth uses the 3496 bulb for the front side marker position across the 1994-1996 model years.
The 3496 is a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, operating at 12V, and is classified as a variant of the widely used 1157 under ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
A BAY15d base features two pins offset at different heights, which physically prevents incorrect single-filament substitutes from seating properly in the socket.
Because the 3496 is a dual-filament type, substituting a single-filament 1157-family bulb would not replicate the original electrical behavior of the front side marker circuit.
The rear side marker position on the Dodge Stealth uses the 168 bulb across the 1994-1996 model years.
The 168 is a miniature wedge bulb of the T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 4.9W, and conforms to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
A T10 wedge base relies on the bulb's wire leads bent around its base for retention, requiring no separate locking mechanism in the socket.
The front and rear side marker positions on the Stealth use electrically distinct bulb types, as the 3496 is dual-filament while the 168 is a single-filament wedge, making the two non-interchangeable.
