The Oldsmobile Intrigue side marker requires a 194 bulb size for proper illumination and function. Data for the specified lighting component covers the period from 1998 through 2002.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Oldsmobile Intrigue uses the 194 bulb for both front and rear side markers across its entire 1998-2002 production run.
The 194 is classified as a miniature wedge bulb, designated T10 in the international bulb sizing system, where "T" refers to the tubular shape and "10" indicates the width in eighths of an inch.
The 194 operates at 12 volts and draws 3.78 watts, placing it among the lower-wattage bulbs in automotive lighting applications.
The T10 wedge base design relies on two wire contacts extending from the base of the glass envelope rather than a metal screw or bayonet fitting, which determines socket compatibility.
The 194 carries ANSI standardization, meaning its physical and electrical specifications are governed by a recognized industry standard applicable in both the United States and Canada.
Because the Oldsmobile Intrigue uses the same 194 bulb in all four side marker positions, front and rear units are interchangeable with one another within the vehicle.
The T10 wedge format is shared by several bulb numbers beyond the 194, including the 168 and 2825, though differences in wattage and filament design mean not all T10 bulbs are electrically equivalent replacements.
