Additional Notes

The Toyota Venza (2009-2012) uses the 168 bulb size for its license plate position across all listed model years.
The 168 bulb is classified as a T10 miniature wedge type, which refers to its small wedge-shaped base that connects directly into a socket without a separate metal cap or pins.
This bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of illumination bulbs used in license plate and courtesy lighting applications.
The 168 designation follows ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning the specification conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical requirements shared across those markets.
The T10 wedge form factor is a widely produced base type, and several bulb numbers share this base, though wattage and voltage ratings can differ between them, making direct substitution dependent on matching those values.
