Kia Telluride Side Marker Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 168 bulb is the sole front side marker bulb type listed for the Kia Telluride across the 2021-2024 model years.
• The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, placing it within a regulated specification framework for miniature automotive lighting.
• It is a T10 miniature wedge bulb, a form factor defined by a wedge-shaped base that seats directly into a socket without a separate metal cap or pins.
• The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular envelope width, expressed in eighths of an inch, making it approximately 10/8 of an inch wide at its widest point.
• The 168 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
• Its rated wattage of 4.9W places it in the low-power range typical of side marker applications, where output requirements are modest compared to headlamps or brake lights.
• The wedge base design of the T10 format means fitment depends on socket compatibility with that specific base type, and bulbs sharing the T10 form factor but carrying different wattage ratings are not necessarily interchangeable without verifying socket and circuit tolerances.
• The 168 and the closely related 194 bulb share the same T10 wedge base, though they differ in wattage, which is a relevant distinction when considering substitutions in the front side marker position.
