Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is the sole instrument panel bulb size listed for the Toyota Cressida across all model years in the specifications, covering 1978-1981 and 1989-1992.
The 194 is an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical parameters shared across manufacturers.
It belongs to the T10 wedge family, a miniature wedge-base format in which the bulb is held in its socket by the tension of the glass envelope itself rather than by a separate metal base with pins.
The 194 operates at 12 volts and draws 3.78 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range appropriate for instrument panel illumination where heat management in enclosed dashboards is a practical concern.
Because the T10 wedge base is a widely produced format, the 194 is physically interchangeable with other T10-based bulbs, though electrical ratings must match the original specification to avoid circuit or socket damage.
The consistent use of a single bulb size across all listed model years of the Toyota Cressida means that a single part number covers the instrument panel fitment for the entire span of years represented in the specifications.
