The Toyota Corona front and rear side marker bulbs utilize 194, 67, or 97 bulb sizes depending on the specific model variant. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1973 to 1982 with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Toyota Corona uses three distinct bulb types across its front and rear side marker positions for the 1973-1982 model years: the 194, 67, and 97, all of which conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The 97 bulb is the most frequently specified type, appearing in both the front and rear side marker positions for the 1973-1977 model years. It is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 13W, and is a variant of the 1156 bulb family.
The 194 bulb is specified for both front and rear side marker positions in 1978-1979 and 1982. It is a miniature wedge bulb of the T10 type, rated at 12V and 3.78W, and does not use a bayonet base, making it physically incompatible with sockets designed for the 67 or 97.
The 67 bulb is specified for both front and rear side marker positions in 1980-1981. Like the 97, it uses a BA15s bayonet base and is a single-filament bulb, but it operates at a lower wattage of 8W at 12V, and is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156.
The front and rear side marker positions share identical bulb specifications across all listed model years, meaning no distinction exists between the two positions for any given year in this dataset.
Although the 67 and 97 both use the BA15s bayonet base, their wattage ratings differ significantly, at 8W and 13W respectively. Substituting one for the other in the Toyota Corona may result in incorrect light output relative to the original specification.
The T10 wedge base of the 194 is mechanically incompatible with the BA15s bayonet sockets used by the 67 and 97, meaning direct substitution between these bulb types is not possible without socket modification.
The bulb specification changes across model years, with the 97 used in 1973-1977, the 194 in 1978-1979, the 67 in 1980-1981, and the 194 again in 1982, indicating that the correct bulb type is year-specific for the Toyota Corona.
