Additional Notes

The 168 bulb is the specified license plate bulb size for the Toyota Yaris across the 2013-2014 and 2018-2019 model years listed in these specifications.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard, which is the American National Standards Institute classification system used to define bulb types for the US and Canadian markets.
This bulb uses a T10 miniature wedge base, a small plastic wedge-shaped fitting that connects directly into a socket without requiring a separate metal base or pins.
The 168 operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, which is consistent with the low-power requirements typical of license plate lighting applications.
The T10 wedge base format is shared across a wide range of automotive bulb types, meaning physical fitment alone does not confirm electrical compatibility with a given socket.
