Additional Notes

The Honda Insight uses the 158 bulb for the glove box across the 2010-2014 and 2019-2020 model years.
The 158 is classified as a miniature wedge bulb, which means it uses a wedge-shaped base rather than a metal contact pin or bayonet fitting to secure itself within the socket.
The 158 follows the T10 designation, where "T" refers to a tubular glass envelope and "10" indicates a width of 10 eighths of an inch.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
At a rated 3 watts, the 158 is a low-output bulb suited to interior illumination tasks such as glove box lighting rather than exterior or high-visibility applications.
The 158 carries ANSI standardization recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning its physical and electrical characteristics conform to a defined industry specification rather than a proprietary standard.
Because the wedge base is a friction-fit design, socket compatibility depends on the physical size of the wedge fitting precisely matching the socket cavity, making direct substitution with non-T10 wedge types inadvisable even when voltage and wattage ratings are similar.
