Additional Notes

The Honda Crosstour uses the 168 bulb size for the license plate position across the 2012-2015 model years.
The 168 bulb is classified as a miniature wedge type, fitting the T10 socket format, which is a small wedge-base housing that requires no separate metal base or pins for retention.
The 168 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of exterior illumination bulbs that run continuously with the parking lights.
The 168 designation follows the ANSI standardization system recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning the bulb specification is consistent across North American market vehicles.
The T10 wedge format is shared by several bulb numbers, including the closely related 194 and 147 types, though these carry different wattage ratings and are not direct substitutes for the 168 without verifying socket and wattage compatibility.
