The Saturn Vue side marker utilizes a 168 bulb size for illumination purposes within the lighting assembly. Data for the specified component covers the range from 2002 through 2005.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Saturn Vue uses the 168 bulb across both its front and rear side marker positions, making it the sole bulb type present in these specifications.
The 168 bulb is an ANSI-standardized type recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a power draw of 4.9 watts.
It belongs to the T10 miniature wedge family, a form factor defined by a wedge-shaped base that seats directly into a socket without a separate metal cap or pins.
The T10 wedge base is a widely shared platform across many vehicle makes, though socket depth and housing clearance can vary, meaning physical fitment should be confirmed before substituting bulbs from other applications.
The Saturn Vue (2002-2007) uses the 168 bulb for the front side marker position across all six model years covered in these specifications.
The rear side marker position on the Vue covers the 2008-2010 model years, each specifying the same 168 bulb.
The front and rear side marker positions share an identical bulb specification, which means the same 168 unit is interchangeable between both locations on applicable model years.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 operates at a relatively low wattage consistent with its role as a marker lamp rather than a primary illumination source.
