The Suzuki XL-7 side marker utilizes 168 and 194 bulb sizes for the lighting components. Available information covers the period from 2002 through 2009 for the specified vehicle.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Suzuki XL-7 front side marker uses two distinct bulb sizes across its production run: the 194 for model years 2002-2006 and the 168 for model years 2007-2009.
Both the 168 and 194 are ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulbs sharing the T10 form factor and a 12V operating voltage, yet they differ in wattage. The 168 draws 4.9W while the 194 draws 3.78W, making them non-interchangeable despite their physical similarity.
The rear side marker also splits across the production run, with the 1157 fitted to 2002-2006 models and the 3057 fitted to 2007-2009 models.
The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb rated at 12V with a 21W high filament and a 5W low filament, mounted on a BAY15d bayonet base.
The 3057 is a dual-filament wedge bulb in a T25 form factor, also rated at 12V, with a 27W high filament and a 7W low filament.
Because the 1157 uses a BAY15d bayonet base and the 3057 uses a wedge base, the two rear side marker bulbs are physically incompatible with each other's sockets, despite both being dual-filament 12V types.
All four bulb types specified across both positions conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The shift from the 194 to the 168 in the front position between the 2006 and 2007 model years reflects a wattage increase at that position, as the 168 draws approximately 1.1W more than the 194.
