Additional Notes

The 158 bulb is the license plate bulb size specified for the Kawasaki EL250 Eliminator across the 1988-1992 model years covered in these specifications.
The 158 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts and 3 watts.
The 158 follows the T10 miniature wedge form factor, a base style that relies on two angled plastic tabs to hold the bulb in its socket rather than a threaded or bayonet-style base.
At 3 watts, the 158 is a low-draw bulb, consistent with the limited power requirements of a license plate illumination application on a motorcycle.
The T10 wedge base is shared by a range of bulb types with varying wattages, meaning substitutions using a physically compatible T10 bulb of a different wattage or voltage rating would fall outside the specified fitment for this application.
