Additional Notes

The Yamaha XTZ1200 Super Tenere uses the 168 bulb for its license plate light across the 2014-2020 model years.
The 168 is a miniature wedge-base bulb built to the T10 form factor, which refers to a tubular glass envelope roughly 10/8 of an inch wide.
The wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by the socket gripping the glass pinch at its base, with no separate metal cap or pins involved.
The 168 operates at 12 volts and draws 4.9 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of auxiliary lighting functions such as license plate illumination.
The 168 designation follows the ANSI standardization system used in the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical parameters recognized across those markets.
Because the 168 is an ANSI-standardized type, it is interchangeable with other bulbs sharing the same T10 wedge base and compatible voltage and wattage ratings, provided the replacement meets the original electrical specifications.
