The Subaru Crosstrek parking light requires bulb size 7444NA or 168 depending on the specific configuration of the lighting assembly. Data for the provided bulb sizes covers the range from 2017 to 2020.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 7444NA is a dual-filament wedge bulb in the T20 form factor, rated at 12 volts with a 21W/5W power draw. The two wattage values correspond to its two filaments, which operate independently for different lighting functions. It carries an ANSI standard designation valid in both the United States and Canada.
The natural amber glass of the 7444NA produces its color through the glass envelope itself rather than through a coating or lens filter. This construction method is a common approach in automotive lighting where a specific amber output is required directly from the bulb.
The 168 is a single-filament miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 4.9 watts. It also carries an ANSI standard designation for the US and Canadian markets.
The Subaru Crosstrek front parking light transitioned from the 168 bulb to the 7444NA between the 2017 and 2019 model years, representing a shift from a single-filament T10 to a dual-filament T20. These two bulb types are not interchangeable due to differences in filament count, wattage, physical size, and socket type.
For the 2018-2019 model years, the applicable bulb size is conditional on the headlamp configuration. The 2019 model uses the 7444NA only with halogen capsule headlamps, while the 2018 model uses the 168 under the same condition.
The 2021-2023 Crosstrek front parking light position uses the 7444NA without any noted configuration conditions, indicating a single fitment across those model years.
