Additional Notes

The 194 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, classifying it as a miniature wedge type in the T10 form factor operating at 12 volts and 3.78 watts.
The T10 wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by friction from its plastic wedge-shaped base rather than a metal bayonet or screw fitting, which is a defining characteristic of this bulb family.
The Polaris SS uses the 194 bulb for the tail light position across the 1985-1986 model years.
The 194 designation is an ANSI-standardized part number, meaning bulbs carrying this number from different manufacturers share the same electrical and physical specifications and are generally interchangeable within that standard.
