Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Citation uses the 194 bulb for the seat belt warning light across the 1980-1983 model years.
The 194 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a formal industry standard recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The 194 bulb follows the T10 miniature wedge form factor, a base style that relies on two angled plastic legs to hold the bulb in place rather than a threaded or bayonet-style socket.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles of this era.
At 3.78 watts, the 194 produces a relatively low power draw, which is typical for indicator and warning light applications where continuous illumination is not required.
The wedge base design of the 194 means the bulb and its base are a single integrated unit, with no separate metal cap or soldered connection between them.
