Additional Notes

The 194 bulb is the predominant instrument panel bulb type across the Toyota Previa's specification range, appearing in six of the seven model years listed (1991-1993 and 1995-1997).
The 194 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W, using a T10 wedge base, which is a common format in North American automotive instrument panel applications.
The 74 bulb is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 1.4W, using a T5 wedge base, making it physically smaller and significantly lower in wattage than the 194.
The 1994 Toyota Previa instrument panel specification calls for the 74 bulb rather than the 194, representing a direct fitment difference from the surrounding model years.
Because the T5 and T10 wedge bases differ in physical size, the 74 and 194 bulbs are not interchangeable despite both using a wedge-base format and sharing the same 12V operating voltage.
The wattage difference between the two bulb types is notable: the 194 draws 3.78W while the 74 draws only 1.4W, meaning substituting one for the other would also alter the electrical load on the instrument panel circuit.
