Chevrolet Camaro Clock Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Chevrolet Camaro clock light bulb specifications cover model years 1967 through 1989, with three distinct bulb sizes used across that span depending on the production year.
• The 161 bulb is the most frequently specified size in these records, fitting the Chevrolet Camaro clock across the 1984-1989 model years.
• The 161 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in a T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 1W, making it the lowest-wattage T10 variant listed in these specifications.
• The 194 bulb appears in three non-consecutive model years: 1982, 1983, and 1968. It shares the same T10 wedge form factor as the 161 but draws 3.78W, a notably higher wattage.
• Because the 161 and 194 share the T10 form factor, they are physically interchangeable in terms of socket fit, but their wattage ratings differ significantly, which affects heat output and electrical load.
• The 168 bulb is specified for the 1969-1971 Camaro clock. It is also a T10 miniature wedge rated at 12V, with a wattage of 4.9W, the highest of any bulb listed in these specifications.
• The 1967 Chevrolet Camaro uses the 1895 bulb, which is the only T5 miniature wedge in these specifications. At 0.9W, it is the lowest-wattage bulb listed and is not interchangeable with the T10 bulbs used in other model years.
• All four bulb types listed are ANSI-standard parts recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning they conform to a shared North American specification for miniature automotive lighting.
• The T5 and T10 designations refer to the bulb's tubular body width, measured in units of one-eighth of an inch, so a T5 is 5/8 inch wide and a T10 is 10/8 inch wide. This physical difference makes cross-substitution between the 1895 and the T10 bulbs incompatible at the socket level.
• Within the T10 group, the 161, 194, and 168 bulbs differ only in wattage, not in socket type, which means socket fitment alone is not a reliable indicator of correct bulb selection for a given model year.
