Additional Notes

The Honda Fit uses the 168 bulb size for the license plate position across all specified model years from 2007-2020.
The 168 bulb is classified as a T10 miniature wedge type, a form factor defined by its wedge-shaped base that connects directly into a matching socket without a separate metal cap or pins.
The T10 wedge base is a widely standardized form factor, meaning physically compatible substitutes from the same base family may exist, though electrical ratings should match the original specification before any replacement is used.
The 168 bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
The rated power draw of the 168 bulb is 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of license plate and courtesy lighting applications.
The 168 designation follows ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating the bulb conforms to a defined set of performance and dimensional criteria shared across those markets.
