Additional Notes

The Hyundai Excel uses the 1891 bulb for the glove box across all listed model years, spanning 1986-1994.
The 1891 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a recognized North American standard applicable in both the United States and Canada.
This bulb follows the T5 form factor, which refers to a tubular glass envelope with a width of 5/8 of an inch, housed in a miniature wedge base that connects without a metal screw shell.
The 1891 operates at 12 volts and draws 2 watts, placing it among the lower-wattage bulbs used in automotive interior lighting applications.
The wedge base design means the bulb is held in its socket by the tension of the base contacts rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism, which affects how it is seated and removed.
Because the 1891 is an ANSI-designated type, replacement bulbs carrying that designation from different manufacturers are generally expected to share the same voltage, wattage, and base configuration.
