Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is the most frequently specified size across the Toyota Celica's side marker positions, appearing in both front and rear applications across a wide span of model years. It is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W under the ANSI standard.
The 168 bulb shares the same T10 miniature wedge form factor as the 194 but operates at a slightly higher wattage of 4.9W. Despite this physical similarity, the two bulbs are not identical in output, and substituting one for the other may produce different brightness levels.
The front side marker position on the Toyota Celica uses three distinct bulb types depending on the model year: the 67 (1980-1986), the 194 (1987-1999, with the exception of 1993), and the 168 (1993 and 2000-2002).
The 1993 Toyota Celica front side marker specifies a 168 bulb, while the surrounding model years specify a 194. Since both are T10 wedge bulbs, the physical fit is the same, but the wattage difference is a noted specification distinction.
The rear side marker position shows greater variation in bulb type than the front. The 7443 and 1157 are dual-filament bulbs, both rated at 12V with a 21W/5W output, while the 194 is a single-filament wedge bulb at 3.78W. These types are not interchangeable due to differences in base design and filament configuration.
The 7443 uses a T20 wedge base, while the 1157 uses a BAY15d bayonet base. Although both share the same 21W/5W dual-filament rating, their physical bases are incompatible, making direct substitution between them impossible without a socket adapter.
The 67 and 97 bulbs both use a BA15s single-contact bayonet base, making them physically similar in mounting. However, the 97 is rated at 13W while the 67 is rated at 8W, and the two are considered separate variants of the 1156 family rather than direct replacements for each other.
The 1978 Toyota Celica front and rear side markers both specify a 194 bulb, while the 1971-1977 model years specify either a 97 or, in the case of the 1977 front position, a 97 as well. The 1980-1981 rear side marker specifies a 67, which differs from the 194 used in the years immediately following.
