Additional Notes

The Ford Ranger ash tray bulb specifications cover model years 1983-2003, with three distinct bulb types used across that span: 161, 194, and 1892.
The bulb type 161 is the most consistently used across the specified years, fitting the Ford Ranger from 1998-2003.
The 161 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in a T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 1W, making it the lowest-wattage bulb among the three types listed.
The 1892 bulb was used in the Ford Ranger from 1983-1987 and is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in a T5 form factor, rated at 12V and 3W.
The T5 form factor of the 1892 is physically smaller than the T10 form factor shared by the 161 and 194, which means the 1892 is not interchangeable with either of the other two bulb types on a physical basis alone.
The 194 bulb, used in the 1988 Ford Ranger, shares the same T10 form factor and 12V rating as the 161, but draws 3.78W compared to the 161's 1W, so the two are not direct replacements for one another despite the shared base type.
All three bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
The 1988 model year stands alone in using the 194 bulb, which at 3.78W carries the highest wattage of any ash tray bulb listed across the entire model range.
