Additional Notes

The Honda HR-V luggage compartment uses two distinct bulb types across its 2016-2020 model years: the 168 and the 12961, both of which share the T10 miniature wedge form factor.
The T10 designation refers to a tubular bulb body approximately 10mm wide, a common size in automotive interior lighting applications.
The 12961 is a Philips part number rather than an ANSI industry-standard designation, and it specifies a W2.1x9.5d base, which is the standard wedge base type used in T10 miniature bulbs.
The 168 carries an ANSI standard designation recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12V with a rated power of 4.9W.
The 12961 operates at 12V and 5W, making its power draw marginally higher than the 168 at 4.9W, though both are functionally within the same low-wattage category for interior use.
The Honda HR-V (2016-2018) uses the 168 bulb in the luggage compartment, while the 2019-2020 model years use the 12961.
Although both bulbs share the T10 wedge body and nearly identical wattage, the differing part designations indicate they are specified separately by model year and are not listed as interchangeable within these specifications.
