Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle CBR650F uses the 168 bulb for its license plate position across the 2014-2016 and 2018 model years.
The 168 is classified under the ANSI standard system, which is the bulb designation framework used in the United States and Canada.
This bulb follows the T10 form factor, a miniature wedge-base design that seats without a twist-lock or bayonet mechanism, relying instead on tension from the socket walls to hold the bulb in place.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in motorcycles.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 draws a low level of power, which is typical for a license plate lamp where output requirements are minimal.
The T10 wedge base is a widely used form factor, meaning the 168 shares physical fitment compatibility with several other bulb numbers that also use the T10 base, though wattage and voltage ratings should be confirmed before substitution.
