Additional Notes

The Nissan Cube uses the 168 bulb for the map light across all listed model years, spanning 2009-2014.
The 168 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type recognized across the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical characteristics rather than being a proprietary specification.
This bulb follows the T10 wedge form factor, which refers to a miniature wedge-base design approximately 10mm wide at the base, held in place by tension rather than a twist-lock or bayonet mechanism.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 draws a relatively low amount of power, which is typical for interior courtesy and reading light applications.
The T10 wedge base is a widely used platform, and various replacement bulbs carrying the 168 designation are produced by multiple manufacturers, though fitment depends on matching the T10 base type along with the 12V and 4.9W ratings.
