Hyundai Tiburon Side Marker Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 168 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W. Its wedge base design requires no separate socket locking mechanism, as the bulb body itself holds tension within the housing.
• The 2357 and 2357NA bulbs share identical electrical ratings of 12V with a dual-filament draw of 26.9W on the high filament and 8W on the low filament. Both use a BAY15d bayonet base, which features two offset pins to prevent incorrect insertion.
• The 2357NA is a natural amber glass variant of the 2357. The amber tint is built into the glass envelope rather than applied as a coating, which produces the required amber color output without relying on a colored lens.
• The Hyundai Tiburon rear side markers use the 168 bulb across all listed model years from 1997-2008, while the front side marker position shows variation across the same span.
• Front side markers on the 2007-2008 Tiburon use the 168 bulb, which is a single-filament, low-wattage wedge type. This contrasts with earlier front positions that used the dual-filament 2357 or 2357NA, which draw significantly more power.
• The 2357 was fitted to the front side marker position on the 2003-2004 Tiburon. Substituting a 2357NA in its place would introduce an amber tint that the original clear-lens housing may not have been designed to accommodate, potentially altering the output color.
• All three bulb types listed, the 168, 2357, and 2357NA, conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating consistent electrical and physical specifications across those markets.
• The 2357 is noted as a brighter variant of the 1157, sharing the same BAY15d base but with higher wattage output. The two are not directly interchangeable in all applications despite the shared base type, as the wattage difference affects socket and circuit ratings.
