Additional Notes

The Toyota Land Cruiser instrument panel uses the 194 bulb across the 1991-2002 model years, making it the most consistently specified bulb type in these fitment records. It is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W under the ANSI standard applicable in the US and Canada.
The 158 bulb covers the 1979-1987 model years, with the exception of 1978 and 1976. Like the 194, it follows the T10 miniature wedge form factor but draws slightly less power at 3W on a 12V circuit.
Although the 194 and 158 bulbs share the same T10 wedge base, they are not rated identically. The 194 operates at 3.78W while the 158 operates at 3W, which means substituting one for the other may affect brightness and electrical load.
The 74 bulb is specified for the Toyota Land Cruiser in 1976 and 1978. It is a T5 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 1.4W, a physically smaller form factor than the T10 bulbs used in surrounding model years, making it incompatible with T10 sockets.
The 57 bulb appears in the 1970 and 1974 model years. It uses a BA9s bayonet base rather than a wedge base, operates at 12V, and draws 1W, placing it in a distinct mounting category from the wedge-type bulbs used in other years.
The 257 bulb is specified for 1969, 1971-1973. It is rated at 12V and 2W and accommodates either a festoon or BA9s base configuration, meaning the physical socket type warrants verification before a replacement is selected.
The instrument panel bulb base type changes across the full span of these specifications, ranging from T5 wedge and T10 wedge to BA9s bayonet and festoon configurations. These base types are not interchangeable, and selecting a replacement requires matching both the bulb number and the socket format present in the vehicle.
All bulb types listed across these specifications conform to ANSI standards as applicable in the US and Canada, indicating that each size designation corresponds to a standardized electrical and physical specification rather than a proprietary Toyota part number.
