Additional Notes

The bulb type 168 is the most frequently specified map light bulb for the Plymouth Sundance, covering the 1988-1992 model years.
The 168 is a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 4.9W, and follows the ANSI standard applicable in both the US and Canada.
The T10 wedge form factor also appears in the 906 bulb, which was specified for the 1993 model year. Although the 906 shares the same base style as the 168, it draws 8W compared to the 168's 4.9W, making the two types non-interchangeable despite their physical similarities.
The 1987 Plymouth Sundance uses the 912 bulb, a T15 wedge type rated at 12V and 12W. The 912 is a variant of the 921 bulb, meaning the two share close electrical and physical characteristics, though substitution depends on fitment tolerances in the specific housing.
The 1994 model year uses the 212-2, a festoon bulb with an SV8.5 base and a 41mm length, rated at 12V and 12W. Festoon bulbs are held in place by spring-loaded end caps rather than a wedge base, so the 212-2 is not interchangeable with any of the wedge-type bulbs specified for other Sundance model years.
Across the full model range, three distinct base types are represented: the T10 miniature wedge (168 and 906), the T15 wedge (912), and the SV8.5 festoon (212-2). Each base type requires a physically different socket, and cross-substitution between these groups is not supported by the specifications.
Wattage varies considerably across the specified bulbs, ranging from 4.9W for the 168 to 12W for the 212-2 and 912. Installing a higher-wattage bulb in a socket rated for a lower-wattage type risks exceeding the thermal limits of the housing and associated wiring.
All four bulb types listed in the specifications conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the US and Canada, indicating consistent regulatory classification across the range.
