Additional Notes

The Kia Sephia parking light specifications cover model years 1994 through 2001, split across two distinct bulb types depending on the production year.
The 1994-1997 Sephia uses the 168 bulb, a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W, while the 1998-2001 Sephia uses the 2357NA, a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base rated at 12V and 26.9W/8W.
The BAY15d bayonet base of the 2357NA features offset pins, a design that prevents incorrect installation by ensuring the bulb seats in only one orientation.
The 2357NA carries a natural amber glass envelope, meaning the amber color is built into the glass itself rather than produced by a colored lens or coating.
As a dual-filament bulb, the 2357NA contains two separate filaments operating at different wattages: 26.9W for the higher-intensity function and 8W for the lower-intensity function.
The T10 wedge base of the 168 bulb relies on the tension of its metal contacts rather than a locking mechanism, which is a standard fitment method for low-wattage miniature applications.
The 168 and 2357NA are both ANSI-standardized bulbs, meaning their electrical and physical specifications conform to a defined industry standard used across the United States and Canada.
The shift from the 168 to the 2357NA between the 1997 and 1998 Sephia represents a change in both base type and filament configuration, making the two bulbs physically and electrically incompatible with each other's sockets.
