Additional Notes

The Ford Escape uses the 168 bulb size for its courtesy lighting across the 2001-2012 model years.
The 168 is a miniature wedge-type bulb, classified under the T10 form factor, which refers to its tubular shape with a wedge base that requires no separate socket pins.
This bulb operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of interior and courtesy lighting applications.
The 168 carries ANSI standardization, meaning its physical and electrical specifications are governed by a recognized industry standard applicable in both the United States and Canada.
Because the 168 is an ANSI-standardized wedge bulb, it is broadly interchangeable with other bulbs sharing the T10 wedge base, provided voltage and wattage ratings are compatible with the vehicle's circuit.
