Additional Notes

The 168 bulb is the license plate bulb size for the Yamaha FZ6R across all model years in the specifications, spanning 2009-2017.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical standards for miniature automotive lighting.
It belongs to the T10 wedge bulb family, a form factor characterized by a wedge-shaped base that connects directly into a socket without a separate metal cap or pins.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in most motorcycles and passenger vehicles.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 draws a low amount of power, which is typical for license plate lighting applications where output requirements are minimal.
The wedge base design of the T10 means the bulb is held in place by the tension of the socket itself rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism, which affects how it is seated and removed.
Because the 168 is an ANSI-standardized bulb, it is produced by multiple manufacturers to the same specification, meaning physical and electrical compatibility is governed by that standard rather than by brand.
