Additional Notes

The Dodge Viper dome light uses two distinct bulb types across its production span: the 212-2 and the 168, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 212-2 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base and a 41mm length, rated at 12 volts and 12 watts. Festoon bulbs are held in place by spring-loaded end caps rather than a socket, which is a physically different mounting method from wedge-type bulbs.
The 168 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb, rated at 12 volts and 4.9 watts. The wedge base is self-retaining and does not use a separate socket, relying instead on the bulb's own glass envelope to make contact with the housing.
The 212-2 draws 12 watts, while the 168 draws 4.9 watts. These two bulbs are not interchangeable, as they differ in base type, physical form, and wattage.
The Dodge Viper (2008-2010) uses the 212-2 festoon bulb for the dome light.
Model years 1992-2006 of the Dodge Viper use the 168 wedge bulb for the dome light, representing the longer-running fitment across the vehicle's history covered in these specifications.
No dome light bulb specification is listed for the 2007 model year, as that year is absent from the data entirely.
