The Pontiac Torrent side marker requires a 194 bulb size for the lighting components located on the exterior of the vehicle. Data for the specific bulb requirements covers the range from 2007 to 2009.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 194 bulb is the sole bulb size specified for the Pontiac Torrent across all side marker positions for the 2006-2009 model years.
The 194 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, placing it within a regulated specification framework for miniature automotive lighting.
It is a T10 miniature wedge type, meaning it uses a wedge-shaped base rather than a bayonet or screw fitting, and is inserted directly into a compatible socket without a separate metal base.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
Its rated wattage of 3.78W places it in the low-power category, typical of marker and indicator lighting rather than primary illumination functions.
The 194 bulb serves both the front and rear side marker positions on the Torrent, meaning a single bulb type covers all four side marker sockets on the vehicle.
Because the front and rear side marker sockets share the same bulb specification, a replacement 194 bulb sourced for one position is directly interchangeable with the other without modification.
The T10 wedge format is a widely produced size, and 194-designated bulbs from various manufacturers are generally cross-compatible as long as the voltage and wattage ratings align with the original specification.
