Additional Notes

The Honda CR-V instrument panel uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the 158 and the 74, both of which conform to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
The 74 bulb is a T5 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 1.4W, and it serves as the instrument panel bulb for the 1997-2000 model years.
The 158 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 3W, and it serves as the instrument panel bulb for the 2001 model year.
The T10 form factor of the 158 bulb is physically larger than the T5 form factor of the 74 bulb, which means the two types are not interchangeable despite both using a wedge base design.
The 158 bulb draws 3W compared to the 1.4W draw of the 74 bulb, reflecting a meaningful difference in power consumption between the two types.
Both bulb types operate on a 12V circuit, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
