Additional Notes

The Ford Ranger uses the 194 bulb for the high beam indicator across all listed model years, spanning 1983-2003.
The 194 is classified as a miniature wedge bulb, designated T10 in the international bulb sizing system.
The T10 wedge form factor means the bulb is held in place by friction from its plastic base rather than by a bayonet or screw fitting, making it tool-free to remove in most instrument cluster housings.
The 194 operates at 12 volts and draws 3.78 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of instrument panel indicator bulbs.
The 194 carries ANSI standardization, meaning the specification is recognized across both the United States and Canada, and the bulb is produced by multiple manufacturers to the same standard.
Because the 194 is an ANSI-standardized T10 wedge type, it is interchangeable with other bulbs sharing the same designation, provided voltage and wattage ratings are matched.
The consistent use of a single bulb size across the entire 1983-2003 production span of the Ford Ranger indicates a stable instrument cluster design for this particular indicator circuit.
