Additional Notes

The 168 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 4.9W. It serves as the map light bulb for the Toyota Camry across 2002-2006, 2012-2018, and 2025-2026.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designation for a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W. It is specified for the 2021 Toyota Camry map light position.
Both the 168 and 12961 share the T10 wedge form factor and operate at 12V, but they differ in wattage (4.9W versus 5W) and designation system. The 168 follows the ANSI standard, while the 12961 is a manufacturer-specific Philips number.
Despite the physical and electrical similarities between the 168 and 12961, substituting one for the other without confirming base compatibility is inadvisable, as the W2.1x9.5d base specification of the 12961 reflects a defined standard that may not be interchangeable with all 168-type sockets.
The 67 bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base rather than a wedge base, making it physically incompatible with sockets designed for T10 wedge bulbs. It is rated at 12V and 8W, which is notably higher than either the 168 or 12961.
The BA15s base of the 67 is a single-contact bayonet fitting, the same base family used by the 1156, though the 67 operates at a lower wattage than that bulb. This base type requires a dedicated socket and is not a drop-in fit for wedge-style housings.
The 67 bulb is specified for the 1995-1996 Toyota Camry map light, representing a distinct fitment requirement from all other model years listed in the specifications.
