Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle CRF1000L Africa Twin uses the 168 bulb for its license plate light across the 2016-2019 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, which is the recognized classification system for miniature bulbs in the United States and Canada.
It is a T10 miniature wedge-base bulb, meaning it uses a wedge-shaped base that friction-fits directly into the socket without a separate metal contact pin.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in most motorcycles.
Its rated wattage is 4.9W, placing it in the low-power range typical of license plate and courtesy lighting applications.
The T10 wedge form factor is shared by several other bulb numbers in the miniature bulb family, which means physical fitment alone does not confirm electrical compatibility when substituting an alternative bulb.
