Jeep Comanche front and rear side marker bulbs utilize 97 and 194 bulb sizes respectively. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1986 to 1992.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Jeep Comanche uses two distinct bulb types across its side marker positions: the 97 for the front and the 194 for the rear, covering the full 1986-1992 model range.
The 97 bulb is an ANSI-standardized type recognized in both the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts and 13 watts with a single filament.
The 97 bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet fitting. This base type requires a specific socket and is not interchangeable with dual-contact bayonet bases.
The 97 is a variant of the 1156 bulb. Despite this relationship, the two are not direct replacements for each other, as wattage and other electrical characteristics differ between variants in this family.
The 194 bulb is also an ANSI-standardized type for the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts and 3.78 watts, making it significantly lower in power output than the front marker bulb.
The 194 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb. The wedge base design holds the bulb in place through friction rather than a locking mechanism, which distinguishes it from the bayonet-style 97 used at the front.
The front and rear side marker positions on the Comanche use physically incompatible base types, meaning the 97 and 194 bulbs cannot be substituted for one another regardless of voltage compatibility.
