Honda Insight Luggage Compartment Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Honda Insight uses the 168 bulb size for the luggage compartment across the 2010-2014 and 2019-2020 model years.
• The 168 is classified as a miniature wedge bulb, operating on 12 volts at 4.9 watts.
• The T10 designation refers to the bulb's wedge base type, which is a common form factor in automotive interior lighting applications.
• The 168 bulb conforms to ANSI standards, meaning its specifications are standardized for the US and Canadian markets.
• The wedge base design of the T10 format means the bulb is held in place by the socket itself rather than by a separate bayonet or screw mechanism, which is a typical trait of low-wattage interior bulbs.
• At 4.9 watts, the 168 is a low-power bulb, consistent with its role in a luggage compartment where brief, localized illumination is the primary function.
• The 168 and the closely related 194 bulb share the same T10 wedge base, though they differ in wattage, and substituting one for the other without confirming wattage compatibility may affect socket fit or electrical load.
