Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is the sole license plate bulb type listed for the Ford Elite, covering the 1975-1976 model years.
The 194 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, classifying it as a miniature wedge type within the T10 form factor.
The T10 wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by friction rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism, requiring a compatible wedge-style socket for proper fitment.
The 194 bulb operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 3.78 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of license plate and courtesy lighting applications.
Because the 194 is an ANSI-standardized bulb, it shares its electrical and physical specifications with other bulbs in the same family, though substitutions should be confirmed against socket compatibility before use.
