Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle CBF1000A uses the 168 bulb for its license plate position across the 2006-2010 model years.
The 168 is a miniature wedge-type bulb, classified under the T10 form factor, which refers to a tubular bulb body approximately 10mm wide at its widest point.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of license plate and courtesy lighting applications.
The 168 designation follows ANSI standardization, meaning the bulb conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical specifications recognized across the United States and Canada.
The wedge base design of the T10 eliminates the need for a separate metal contact, as the filament leads themselves form the electrical connection when pressed into the socket.
The T10 wedge format is shared across a wide range of automotive and motorcycle applications, which means physically compatible substitutes from other vehicle platforms may exist, though electrical ratings should match the 12V, 4.9W specification before any substitution is made.
