Additional Notes

The 168 bulb is the license plate bulb size for the Toyota 86 across the 2017-2020 model years.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, which is the American National Standards Institute classification system used to define bulb specifications for the US and Canadian markets.
It is a T10 miniature wedge-base bulb, a form factor where the base of the bulb tapers to a flat wedge shape that clips directly into a socket without requiring a separate metal base or pins.
The 168 operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 draws a relatively low amount of power, which is typical for license plate lighting applications where output requirements are minimal.
The T10 wedge base is a widely used form factor, and the 168 shares this base with several other bulb types in the same family, such as the 194 and 192. However, those variants differ in wattage, which affects direct interchangeability despite the shared base type.
