The Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon front and rear side marker bulbs both use a 194 size bulb. The replacement chart covers 1975 through 1987 production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon uses the 194 bulb for both front and rear side marker positions across all model years listed in the specifications.
The 194 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 T10 miniature wedge form factor, a designation that refers to its tubular glass envelope and wedge-style base, which seats directly into a socket without a separate metal base or locking pins.
The 194 operates at 12 volts and draws 3.78 watts, placing it among the lower-wattage bulbs used in automotive lighting applications.
The wedge base design of the T10 means the bulb is held in place by tension from the socket contacts rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism, which affects how it is inserted and removed.
The front and rear side marker positions on the Cutlass Salon share an identical bulb specification, indicating that a single bulb type serves both locations on the vehicle.
The 194 bulb specification applies to the 1975-1980 and 1985-1987 model years of the Cutlass Salon, covering all entries present in the specifications for this vehicle.
Because the 194 is an ANSI-standardized type, aftermarket and OEM replacements from different manufacturers are generally expected to conform to the same voltage, wattage, and base configuration.
