Additional Notes

The Toyota Camry instrument panel specifications span the 1983-2001 model years, with two bulb types appearing across that range: the 194 and the 74.
The 194 bulb is the more frequently specified of the two, appearing in the majority of model years within this range.
Both the 194 and the 74 are ANSI-standardized miniature wedge bulbs rated at 12 volts, making them compatible with standard automotive electrical systems.
The 194 follows the T10 wedge form factor and draws 3.78 watts, while the 74 follows the smaller T5 wedge form factor and draws only 1.4 watts.
Because the T10 and T5 wedge bases differ in physical size, the 194 and 74 are not interchangeable with each other, even though both use a wedge-style base.
The Toyota Camry (1999-2000) specifies the 74 bulb, whereas the immediately adjacent years of 1997-1998 and 2001 call for the 194, indicating that the correct year must be confirmed before sourcing a replacement.
The lower wattage of the 74 (1.4W versus 3.78W) means it produces less heat and draws less current than the 194, which is a relevant consideration when evaluating socket condition during replacement.
