Value Collection 168 Miniature Lamp 14V T3-1/4 Wedge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 168 is a miniature automotive lamp rated at 14 volts and 0.35 amps, built in a T3-1/4 bulb shape with a wedge base. It is designed for low-voltage indicator and instrument lighting applications commonly found in automotive, marine, and light industrial equipment. Licensed electricians, automotive technicians, and equipment service professionals install this type of lamp when replacing burned-out indicator bulbs in dashboards, control panels, and signal circuits. The wedge base design allows tool-free bulb changes in most sockets, and the compact T3-1/4 form factor fits tight panel spaces.

This lamp is suited for 12- to 14-volt DC systems where a wedge-base T3-1/4 miniature bulb is specified. Typical applications include instrument cluster lighting, HVAC control panel indicators, automotive dashboard circuits, and low-voltage signal lamps in light commercial equipment. It draws 0.35 amps, making it compatible with low-current indicator circuits that cannot support higher-wattage substitutes. It is sold individually and is a direct drop-in for sockets calling out the 168 lamp designation.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power or remove the ignition key before replacing any instrument or indicator lamp to avoid short circuits on live low-voltage panels. Wedge-base bulbs pull straight out of their sockets and press straight back in — do not twist. Verify the replacement lamp voltage and amperage rating match the original before installation. Automotive and equipment technicians should follow applicable safety procedures for the vehicle or equipment being serviced.
