Additional Notes

The Kia Spectra5 parking light specifications cover the 2005-2009 model years, with two distinct bulb types used across that range.
The 168 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type operating at 12V and 4.9W. The T10 designation refers to a tubular bulb roughly 10/32 of an inch wide, and the wedge base means it is held in its socket by the glass envelope itself rather than by a separate metal base.
The 2357NA bulb operates on a dual-filament design at 12V, with a higher-draw filament rated at 26.9W and a lower-draw filament rated at 8W. The two wattage values correspond to separate circuits within the same bulb.
The 2357NA uses a BAY15d bayonet base, which features two offset pins that lock the bulb into its socket with a push-and-twist motion. The offset pin placement prevents incorrect installation of the dual-filament bulb.
The "NA" suffix in 2357NA denotes natural amber glass, meaning the color is produced by the glass itself rather than by a coating or an external lens.
The Kia Spectra5 (2007-2009) uses the 168 bulb for the parking light position, while the 2005-2006 model years use the 2357NA. These two bulb types are not interchangeable due to differences in base design, wattage, and filament count.
The 168 and 2357NA are both ANSI-standardized bulbs, meaning their electrical and physical specifications are defined by a common North American standard applicable in both the United States and Canada.
