Additional Notes

The Harley-Davidson FXDS-Conv Dyna Convertible uses the 198 bulb for the tail light position across the 1994-1998 model years.
The 198 bulb is classified under the ANSI standard, which is the recognized specification framework used in the United States and Canada for automotive and miniature lighting applications.
It belongs to the T5 form factor, a miniature wedge-base bulb type. The wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by the socket gripping the glass envelope directly, with no separate metal base or pins.
The 198 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 2 watts, placing it at the low end of the power range for automotive signal and marker lighting.
The T5 designation refers to the bulb envelope width, expressed in eighths of an inch, making the glass envelope five-eighths of an inch wide.
The wedge-base construction of the 198 bulb means fitment is socket-dependent. Substituting a bulb with a different base type, even at the same voltage and wattage, would not be physically compatible with the original socket.
