Additional Notes

The Yamaha VMX1700 V-Max uses the 168 bulb for the license plate position across all model years from 2009 to 2020.
The 168 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb, meaning it uses a wedge-style base rather than a bayonet or screw fitting, and is inserted directly into a wedge socket without a separate holder.
The bulb operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of small indicator and auxiliary lighting positions.
The 168 designation follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, which defines the bulb's electrical and physical characteristics within a standardized classification system.
T10 refers to the bulb's tubular envelope size, where the number 10 represents ten-eighths of an inch in envelope width, a common sizing convention in the ANSI miniature bulb system.
Because the 168 is a wedge-type bulb, fitment depends on socket compatibility with the wedge base format, and substitution with bayonet-base bulbs of similar wattage would not be physically interchangeable.
