Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle CB500X uses the 168 bulb size for its license plate light across the 2013-2020 model years.
The 168 bulb is classified as a miniature wedge type, following the T10 form factor, which refers to its tubular shape with a wedge-style base that connects without a separate socket pin.
This bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of small indicator and auxiliary lighting applications.
The 168 designation follows the ANSI standardization system, which is the recognized classification framework used across the United States and Canada.
The T10 wedge base format is a widely used form factor in automotive and motorcycle auxiliary lighting, and bulbs sharing this base type are physically interchangeable in terms of fitment, though wattage and voltage ratings must still match the application.
The consistent use of the 168 bulb across all eight model years of the CB500X in this specification set indicates a stable lighting design throughout that production period.
