Additional Notes

The Polaris Storm tail light specifications cover model years 1993-1998, with two distinct bulb types used across that span: the 906 and the 194.
Both the 906 and 194 are ANSI-standardized miniature wedge bulbs of the T10 type, recognized across the US and Canadian markets.
The T10 wedge base is a small, wedge-shaped base that connects directly into a socket without a separate metal contact, relying on the base itself to conduct current.
Although both bulbs share the T10 wedge form factor and operate at 12 volts, they are not interchangeable due to a difference in wattage: the 906 draws 8W while the 194 draws 3.78W.
The higher wattage of the 906 means it produces more light output than the 194, which is a relevant factor in tail light visibility performance.
The Polaris Storm (1996-1998) uses the 906 bulb for the tail light position, while the 1993-1995 model years use the 194.
Installing a 906 in a socket specified for a 194 would introduce a higher electrical load than the circuit was designed to handle, which carries a risk of damage to the socket or wiring.
