Additional Notes

The Honda Passport map light takes one of two bulb types depending on the generation: the 12961 for the 2019-2024 model years and the 168 for the 1994-1999 model years.
Both the 12961 and 168 are T10 miniature wedge bulbs, meaning they share the same physical envelope shape and wedge-style base format.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designation, while the 168 is an ANSI standard designation recognized across the US and Canada.
The 12961 specifies a W2.1x9.5d base, which is the standardized IEC designation for the wedge base type used in T10 miniature bulbs.
The 12961 operates at 12V and 5W, while the 168 operates at 12V and 4.9W, placing both within the same low-wattage range typical of interior map lighting applications.
Despite the shared T10 form factor, the 12961 and 168 carry different wattage ratings and different base designation systems, and fitment should be confirmed against the specific model year rather than assumed interchangeable.
