Additional Notes

The Honda Motorcycle CRF250L uses the 168 bulb size for its license plate light across the 2013-2017 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in the United States and Canada, placing it within a defined regulatory framework for miniature automotive lighting.
It is a T10 miniature wedge-base bulb, a form factor that relies on two angled plastic tabs to hold the bulb in its socket rather than a threaded or bayonet-style base.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in most motorcycles.
Its rated wattage of 4.9W places it in the low-power range typical of license plate and courtesy lighting applications.
The T10 wedge base is a widely used form factor, and bulbs carrying the 168 designation are interchangeable with other T10 wedge bulbs sharing the same 12V and 4.9W ratings.
Substituting a T10 bulb with a different wattage rating risks either insufficient illumination or excessive heat buildup within the license plate housing.
