Additional Notes

The Harley-Davidson VRSCA/VRSCAW V-Rod uses the 198 bulb for its parking light across the 2002-2010 model years.
The 198 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are defined by the American National Standards Institute and are consistent across manufacturers in the United States and Canada.
This bulb follows the T5 form factor, which refers to a tubular wedge-base design with a body width of 5/8 of an inch, commonly associated with low-profile miniature lighting applications.
The 198 operates at 12 volts and draws 2 watts, placing it among the lower-wattage bulbs used in automotive and powersports applications, consistent with a parking light function rather than a primary illumination role.
The wedge base design of the 198 means it is retained by friction rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism, requiring no separate socket locking during installation or removal.
Because the 198 is an ANSI-standardized miniature wedge type, physical and electrical compatibility is determined by both the T5 wedge base and the 12V/2W rating, and substitutions with differing wattages may affect circuit behavior or socket integrity.
