Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is the sole tail light bulb size listed for the Polaris 440 across all specified model years, spanning 1992-1998.
The 194 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical specifications shared across North American markets.
It is a T10 miniature wedge bulb, a form factor that uses a wedge-shaped base rather than a metal contact pin, allowing it to seat directly into a compatible socket without a separate holder.
The bulb operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 3.78 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of indicator and marker lighting applications.
The 194 designation is a widely used ANSI trade number, meaning physically and electrically equivalent bulbs sold under the same trade number by different manufacturers are generally interchangeable within compatible sockets.
The T10 wedge base type is a common fitment found across many vehicle lighting applications, though socket compatibility should be confirmed against the specific housing before substitution.
