Additional Notes

The Suzuki XL-7 map light specifications cover model years 2002-2006, with two distinct bulb types appearing across that range: the 168 and the PC168.
The 168 bulb is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge type with a T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 4.9W, recognized in both the US and Canada.
The PC168 is also an ANSI-standard T10 miniature wedge bulb, but it incorporates a printed circuit board twist-lock socket, which is a feature associated with instrument cluster applications.
The twist-lock socket on the PC168 distinguishes its mounting method from the standard wedge base of the 168, meaning the two bulbs are not directly interchangeable despite sharing the same T10 form factor.
The Suzuki XL-7 used the standard 168 bulb for the 2002-2003 model years, while the PC168 was specified for the 2004-2006 model years.
Both bulb types operate on a 12V electrical system, which is consistent with standard automotive low-voltage architecture.
The PC168 designation reflects a variant of the 168 bulb family adapted for sockets that use a rotational locking mechanism rather than a simple friction-fit wedge insertion.
