The Pontiac Parisienne front and rear side marker bulbs both utilize a 194 bulb size specification. The replacement chart covers 1983 to 1986 model years with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Pontiac Parisienne uses the 194 bulb for both front and rear side marker positions across the 1983-1986 model years.
The 194 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a formal industry standard recognized in both the United States and Canada.
This bulb follows the T10 miniature wedge form factor, which uses a tapered plastic base that presses directly into a socket without requiring a separate metal base or locking pins.
The 194 operates at 12 volts and draws 3.78 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of marker and courtesy lighting applications.
Because the front and rear side marker positions on the Parisienne share the same 194 bulb, a single bulb type serves all four side marker sockets on the vehicle.
The T10 wedge base is a widely used form factor, and 194-type bulbs from different manufacturers are generally interchangeable as long as the voltage and wattage ratings are observed.
Substituting a bulb with a higher wattage rating than 3.78W into a socket designed for the 194 risks exceeding the thermal tolerance of the socket housing and wiring.
