Chrysler E Class front side marker bulbs use 194 or 168 bulb sizes, while rear side marker bulbs require 168 size. The replacement chart covers 1983 to 1984 production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 194 and 168 are the two bulb types specified for the Chrysler E Class side marker positions across the 1983-1984 model years. Both are classified under ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets.
Both the 194 and 168 bulbs share the same T10 miniature wedge form factor and operate at 12 volts, which places them in the same physical housing category despite their differing wattage ratings.
The 194 bulb is rated at 3.78 watts, while the 168 bulb is rated at 4.9 watts. Although both fit a T10 socket, the wattage difference means the two types are not electrically identical and are not interchangeable without consequence.
The Chrysler E Class front side marker changed bulb types between model years, with the 1983 model using a 168 and the 1984 model using a 194. The rear side marker retained the 168 bulb across both years.
The shift in the front side marker from a 168 to a 194 for the 1984 model year represents a reduction in wattage from 4.9W to 3.78W at the same 12-volt operating voltage.
Because the 1984 Chrysler E Class front and rear side markers use different bulb types (194 front, 168 rear), the two positions are not served by a common bulb despite sharing the same T10 socket format.
For the 1983 Chrysler E Class, both the front and rear side markers use the 168 bulb, making the same part applicable to all four side marker positions on that model year.
