Additional Notes

The 194 and 168 bulbs are both classified as miniature wedge bulbs under the T10 form factor, meaning they share the same physical wedge-base housing style despite differing in wattage.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets, indicating a standardized specification rather than a proprietary or regional variant.
The 194 bulb operates at 12V and 3.78W, while the 168 bulb operates at 12V and 4.9W, representing a difference of approximately 1.12W between the two types.
Although the 194 and 168 share the T10 wedge-base form factor, their wattage ratings differ, and substituting one for the other may not be electrically equivalent even if physical fitment is possible.
The Lexus RC350 uses the 194 bulb for courtesy lighting in the 2021-2022 model years and the 168 bulb in the 2015-2016 model years, reflecting a specification change between those production periods.
