Additional Notes

The Ford Explorer Sport Trac uses the 194 bulb for its license plate position across the 2001-2005 and 2007-2010 model years.
The 194 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb, meaning it uses a wedge-style base rather than a bayonet or screw fitting, and is inserted directly into a compatible socket by friction.
The 194 bulb operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 3.78 watts, placing it among the lower-wattage bulbs used in automotive applications.
The 194 designation follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, making it a widely available bulb type across North American retail and wholesale markets.
Because the T10 wedge format is shared by several bulb types with different wattage ratings, substituting a physically similar bulb without confirming the correct wattage risks improper illumination or socket compatibility issues on the Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
