Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is the most widely used stepwell bulb size across Honda Pilot model years, appearing in 2003-2007, 2009-2015, and 2019-2021.
The 194 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 3.78W.
The 74 bulb is the stepwell specification for the Honda Pilot in 2016-2018, representing a distinct departure from the 194 used in surrounding years.
The 74 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb in the T5 form factor, rated at 12V and 1.4W.
Although both the 194 and 74 are miniature wedge-base bulbs, the T10 and T5 designations indicate different physical sizes, meaning the two types are not interchangeable.
The wattage difference between the two bulb types is notable: the 194 draws 3.78W while the 74 draws only 1.4W, reflecting the smaller T5 envelope of the 74.
For the 2020 Honda Pilot, the 194 bulb specification applies regardless of whether the vehicle is configured with 7 or 8 seats.
Both bulb types operate on a standard 12V automotive circuit, consistent with conventional vehicle electrical systems.
