Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is the sole tail light bulb size listed across all model years of the Polaris Sport covered in these specifications, spanning 1987-2000.
The 194 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, placing it within a regulated and widely distributed bulb category.
It is a T10 miniature wedge type, meaning it uses a wedge-shaped base rather than a bayonet or screw fitting, and is seated by friction contact within the socket.
The Polaris Sport tail light bulb operates at 12 volts with a power draw of 3.78 watts, consistent with low-wattage indicator and marker lighting applications.
The wedge base design of the T10 format means no separate metal base is present; the glass envelope itself forms the electrical contact points.
Because the 194 designation is an ANSI-standardized type, it is interchangeable with other bulbs sharing the same T10 wedge base, 12V rating, and 3.78W output, provided those substitutes conform to the same standard.
Substituting bulbs with a higher wattage rating than 3.78W risks exceeding the thermal tolerance of the socket and surrounding housing, even when the physical base fits correctly.
