Chevrolet Camaro Glove Box Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Chevrolet Camaro glove box uses four distinct bulb types across its model years: the 194, 168, 1893, and 1895, all of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
• The 194 is the most frequently specified bulb across the Camaro glove box fitment data, appearing in the majority of model years from 1967 through 2002.
• The 194 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W, placing it in the lower wattage range typical of interior illumination applications.
• The 168 bulb is also a T10 miniature wedge type operating at 12V, but draws 4.9W, making it the highest-wattage bulb among the four types listed in these specifications.
• Although the 194 and 168 share the same T10 wedge form factor, their wattage ratings differ, and the 1992 Camaro is the only model year specified with the 168 rather than the 194.
• The 1895 is a T5 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 0.9W, representing the lowest wattage output in the specifications. It is the designated glove box bulb for the Chevrolet Camaro from 1967-1971, 1973-1975, and 1976 through 1976.
• The 1893 is also a T5 miniature wedge bulb operating at 12V, with a wattage of 2W, placing it between the 1895 and the T10 types in terms of power draw. It is specified exclusively for the 1978 Camaro.
• The T5 bulbs (1893 and 1895) and the T10 bulbs (194 and 168) are not interchangeable with one another, as the T5 and T10 designations refer to different physical wedge base sizes.
• The 194 and 168 share the T10 form factor, but substituting one for the other would result in a different wattage load on the circuit, which is a relevant consideration for socket and wiring compatibility.
• The 1895 and 1893 both use the T5 wedge base, yet their wattage ratings of 0.9W and 2W respectively indicate they are distinct bulbs and are not rated as direct substitutes for one another.
