Chevrolet Cavalier Ash Tray Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Chevrolet Cavalier ash tray bulb specifications reference two bulb types across the model years covered: the 168 and the 194. Both are classified under ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
• Both the 168 and 194 are miniature wedge bulbs sharing the T10 form factor and a 12-volt operating voltage, which places them in the same physical bulb family.
• Despite sharing the T10 form factor, the 168 and 194 differ in wattage. The 168 operates at 4.9W, while the 194 operates at 3.78W, making them electrically distinct from one another.
• The wattage difference between the two bulb types is relevant to fitment. Substituting one for the other may affect circuit load, and the two are not rated as interchangeable within these specifications.
• The 168 bulb is specified for the Chevrolet Cavalier ash tray across the 1982-1986 model years, as well as the 1994 model year.
• The 194 bulb is specified for the 1987-1990 model years of the Cavalier ash tray application.
• The 168 bulb accounts for six of the ten model years listed in the specifications, making it the more frequently specified of the two bulb types for this application.
• The T10 wedge base is a tool-free, push-in style fitting commonly used in low-current interior lighting applications such as ash trays, instrument panels, and courtesy lights.
