Additional Notes

The Suzuki Forenza uses the 168 bulb for the license plate position across all listed model years, spanning 2004-2008.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, which is the recognized specification system for automotive bulbs in the United States and Canada.
This bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type, meaning it uses a wedge-shaped base rather than a metal contact pin or bayonet fitting, and seats directly into a compatible socket without rotation.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 is a low-wattage bulb suited to the minimal illumination demands of a license plate lamp.
The T10 wedge format is shared across a wide range of vehicles and applications, though fitment into a specific socket depends on the physical housing design of the lamp assembly rather than the bulb base alone.
The 168 and the closely related 194 are both T10 wedge bulbs operating at 12 volts, but they differ in wattage. The 194 draws 3.78 watts, making the two bulbs not directly interchangeable in applications where wattage tolerance is a factor.
