Additional Notes

The Suzuki Grand Vitara uses the 168 bulb size for the license plate position across all listed model years from 1999 to 2013.
The 168 bulb is a miniature wedge type, classified under the T10 form factor, which refers to a tubular bulb roughly 10mm wide with a wedge-shaped base that friction-fits directly into the socket without a separate holder or pins.
The 168 operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of illumination bulbs rather than signaling bulbs.
The 168 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning it is produced to a consistent specification across multiple manufacturers.
Because the 168 uses a wedge base, fitment depends on socket size compatibility rather than pin alignment, and substituting a T10 wedge bulb of a different wattage rating may affect socket fit or circuit load.
