Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle CBR1000RR uses the 168 bulb size for the license plate position across all model years from 2004-2016.
The 168 bulb is classified as a miniature wedge type, designated T10 in bulb nomenclature, where "T10" refers to a tubular glass envelope roughly 10/8 of an inch wide.
The wedge base design means the 168 bulb is held in place by tension from the socket itself rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism, which is a common trait in license plate and interior lighting applications.
The 168 operates at 12 volts and 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of auxiliary and marker lighting rather than primary illumination.
The 168 is an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical parameters under North American standards.
Because the T10 wedge form factor is shared by several ANSI bulb types, not all T10-shaped bulbs are electrically equivalent to the 168; wattage and voltage ratings must match the original specification for proper fitment.
