Additional Notes

The Kia Sedona uses two different glove box bulb sizes across its model years, with the 2019-2021 models specifying the 12961 and the 2018 model specifying the 168.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designation, while the 168 follows the ANSI standardization system used in the United States and Canada.
Both the 12961 and the 168 share the same T10 miniature wedge form factor, meaning they occupy the same physical bulb envelope shape.
Despite sharing a T10 form factor, the two bulbs differ in their base type. The 12961 uses a W2.1x9.5d base, which is the standard metric designation for a miniature wedge base, while the 168 is listed without a specific base code under its ANSI designation.
Both bulbs operate on a 12-volt circuit, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The wattage between the two bulbs is nearly identical, with the 12961 rated at 5W and the 168 rated at 4.9W, reflecting a negligible difference in power draw.
Although the T10 form factor is shared, substituting one bulb for the other across model years is not confirmed by the specifications, and fitment compatibility should not be assumed solely on the basis of shared shape.
