Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge type with a T10 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 3.78 watts. It is the instrument panel bulb used in the Toyota Paseo across the 1992 and 1994-1998 model years.
The 74 bulb is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge type with a T5 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 1.4 watts. It is specified for the 1993 Toyota Paseo instrument panel.
The T5 and T10 designations refer to the width of the bulb envelope in units of one-eighth of an inch, making the T10 physically larger than the T5. These two bulb sizes are not interchangeable despite sharing the same wedge base style and operating voltage.
The wattage difference between the two bulbs is significant. The 194 (T10) draws 3.78 watts, while the 74 (T5) draws only 1.4 watts. Substituting one for the other risks either insufficient illumination or excessive heat load on the socket.
Both bulb types carry ANSI standardization applicable to the US and Canadian markets, meaning replacements conforming to those standards from any manufacturer are electrically equivalent to the original specification.
