The Chevrolet Venture front and rear side marker bulbs both utilize a 194 bulb size for replacement purposes. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1997 to 2005.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Chevrolet Venture uses the 194 bulb for both the front and rear side marker positions across all model years covered in the specifications, spanning 1997-2005.
The 194 is classified as a miniature wedge bulb, designated T10 in the international bulb sizing system, where "T" refers to the tubular shape and "10" indicates the width in eighths of an inch.
The 194 bulb operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 3.78 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of marker and courtesy lighting applications.
The 194 carries an ANSI standard designation, meaning it conforms to specifications recognized in both the United States and Canada, which governs its physical and electrical properties.
The wedge base design of the T10 bulb means it is held in its socket by the tension of the glass envelope itself rather than by a separate metal base, a common construction in small automotive marker bulbs.
Because the front and rear side marker positions on the Chevrolet Venture share the same 194 bulb, a single bulb type serves both locations across the entire 1997-2005 model range.
The T10 wedge format is shared by several bulb numbers beyond the 194, and not all T10 bulbs are electrically identical, so wattage and voltage ratings are relevant factors when considering substitutions.
