168 bulb guide

168 is one of the most common small bulbs in automotive lighting. It frequently appears in license plate lights, side markers, parking/position lights, and a wide range of interior lights. Because it’s used in so many different places, the key is confirming the position you’re replacing, not just the bulb code.

Popular upgrade: 168 to LED

LED swaps are common for 168 because access is usually easy and the change is noticeable. For interior use, consider warm white for an OEM look or cool white for a modern look. For marker lights, choose bulbs that spread light evenly to avoid a single bright “hot spot.”

Troubleshooting

• If LEDs flicker, try a higher quality bulb or a CANBUS-friendly option.
• If bulbs burn out often, check moisture and contact tension in the socket.
• Always test before snapping lenses back into place.
