Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle CH80 Elite uses the 168 bulb size for the license plate position across all listed model years, spanning 1985-2007.
The 168 bulb is classified as a miniature wedge type, specifically a T10 form factor, which refers to the tubular glass envelope width measured in eighths of an inch.
A wedge base bulb relies on the glass envelope itself to make electrical contact within the socket, rather than using a separate metal base with pins or a bayonet fitting.
The 168 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of small indicator and illumination lamps.
The 168 designation follows ANSI standardization, meaning the specification is recognized across both the United States and Canada.
Because the 168 is an ANSI-standardized T10 wedge bulb, it is physically interchangeable with other bulbs sharing the same T10 wedge base, provided voltage and wattage ratings are compatible with the socket.
The consistent use of the 168 bulb across the entire 1985-2007 production span of the Honda Motorcycle CH80 Elite indicates a stable socket specification throughout the model's lifecycle.
