Additional Notes

The Hyundai Tiburon uses two distinct bulb types across its model years for the courtesy position: the 168 and the DE3022, each with a different physical format and contact style.
The 168 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W, standardized under ANSI specifications for the US and Canadian markets. Its wedge base means it seats directly into a socket without pins or end caps.
The DE3022 is a festoon-style bulb with a 31mm length and end-cap contacts, also rated at 12V and standardized under ANSI for the US and Canadian markets. Festoon bulbs mount by pressing between two spring clips rather than inserting into a wedge socket.
Because the 168 and DE3022 use fundamentally different contact and mounting systems, they are not interchangeable with each other regardless of voltage compatibility.
The Hyundai Tiburon (2003-2006) uses the 168 bulb for the courtesy position across all four of those model years.
The 1997-2001 Tiburon uses the DE3022 festoon bulb for the courtesy position across all five of those model years.
The two bulb types correspond to two separate generations of the Tiburon, with the format change occurring between the 2001 and 2003 model years.
