Additional Notes

The Ford Ranger glove box uses the 194 bulb across the 1989-2004 and 2008-2011 model years, making it the more widely used of the two bulb types found in these specifications.
The 194 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 3.78 watts.
The T10 wedge base is a push-in connector type with no separate socket pins, relying on two angled metal tabs on the base to make electrical contact within the housing.
The 1891 bulb is specified for the Ford Ranger glove box across the 1983-1988 model years.
The 1891 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in the T5 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 2 watts, drawing notably less power than the 194.
The T5 wedge base follows the same general wedge-style contact design as the T10 but is physically smaller, meaning the 194 and 1891 are not interchangeable despite sharing the same base style.
Both the 194 and 1891 are classified under ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating standardized electrical and physical tolerances for each type.
The shift from the 1891 to the 194 between the 1988 and 1989 model years represents a change in both bulb size and wattage for the glove box position.
