The Plymouth Acclaim side marker requires a 916 bulb size for the specific lighting component located on the exterior of the vehicle. Data for the bulb specifications covers the range from 1995 to 1995.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Plymouth Acclaim uses three distinct bulb types across its front and rear side marker positions: the 168, 194NA, 194, and 916, all of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The 168 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 4.9W. It serves as the front side marker bulb on the Plymouth Acclaim for model years 1991-1995.
The 194NA bulb is also a T10 miniature wedge type but features natural amber glass, rated at 12V and 3.78W. It fills the front side marker position on the 1989-1990 Acclaim, distinguishing those earlier model years from the later ones that use the clear-glass 168.
Although the 168 and 194NA share the same T10 wedge form factor, their wattage ratings differ. The 168 draws 4.9W while the 194NA draws 3.78W, and the 194NA carries a factory amber tint that the 168 does not.
The 916 is a T15 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 18W, making it significantly higher in wattage than the T10 bulbs used elsewhere in the Acclaim's marker circuit. It is the most power-intensive bulb type listed across all side marker positions.
The 916 bulb serves as the rear side marker on the Plymouth Acclaim for model years 1989-1991, 1993, and 1995.
The 194 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 3.78W, sharing its wattage with the 194NA but lacking the amber glass coating. It appears exclusively in the rear side marker position for the 1994 model year.
The rear side marker position on the Plymouth Acclaim shows variation across model years, with the 916, 194, and 168 each assigned to different years. Substituting one for another without accounting for wattage and physical size differences would be inadvisable, as the T15 916 and the T10 miniature wedge bulbs are not interchangeable form factors.
The 1992 Acclaim rear side marker uses the 168 bulb, the same T10 type found in the front side marker for 1991-1995, which means that particular model year shares a single bulb type across both front and rear side marker positions.
The T10 and T15 designations refer to the tubular bulb width in eighths of an inch, with T10 indicating a narrower profile than T15. This physical difference reinforces that 916 bulbs cannot serve as drop-in replacements for the T10 positions occupied by the 168, 194NA, or 194.
