Ford F-700 front and rear side marker bulbs utilize 194, 97, and 168 bulb sizes depending on production specifications. The replacement chart covers vehicle data spanning 1970 to 1998.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Ford F-700 front side marker position uses the 194 bulb across nearly all model years covered in the specifications, making it the dominant bulb type in this dataset. The 194 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 3.78W.
The T10 wedge base is a push-in connector type that does not use a separate socket locking mechanism, which distinguishes it from bayonet-style bases. Both the 194 and 168 bulbs share this T10 wedge form factor.
Although the 194 and 168 share the same T10 wedge base, they are not the same bulb. The 168 operates at 4.9W versus the 194's 3.78W, meaning the two draw different amounts of current despite their physical similarity.
The Ford F-700 (1972) front side marker position specifies the 97 bulb rather than the 194 used in all other listed front side marker years, representing a single-year deviation in that position.
The 97 bulb uses a BA15s single-contact bayonet base and is described in the specifications as a variant of the 1156. At 12V and 13W, it draws substantially more power than either the 194 or the 168.
The rear side marker position of the Ford F-700 uses three distinct bulb types across its listed model years: the 97 (1970-1973), the 168 (1974-1980), and the 194 (1983-1998).
Because the 97 uses a BA15s bayonet base while the 194 and 168 use a T10 wedge base, these bulb types are physically incompatible with one another and require different sockets.
The rear side marker specifications for the Ford F-700 list no entries for 1981, 1982, or 1985-1988, so no bulb size is established for those years in the rear position within this dataset.
The 168 bulb appears exclusively in the rear side marker position across the specifications provided, covering model years 1974-1980 in that position, and is not specified for any front side marker year.
All three bulb types listed in the specifications, the 194, 168, and 97, conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
