Additional Notes

The Kia Spectra map light uses two distinct bulb sizes across its model years: the 904 and the 168, both of which are ANSI-standardized miniature wedge bulbs of the T10 form factor rated at 12 volts.
The 904 bulb is specified for the 2007-2009 Kia Spectra front map light position, operating at 8 watts.
The 168 bulb is specified for the 2000-2001 and 2005-2006 model years, operating at 4.9 watts.
Although the 904 and 168 share the same T10 wedge base and 12-volt operating voltage, their wattage ratings differ, with the 904 drawing approximately 3.1 more watts than the 168.
The shared T10 wedge base between the 904 and 168 does not make them interchangeable without consideration of wattage, as the difference in power draw can affect socket and circuit compatibility.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating standardized physical and electrical tolerances across manufacturers.
