Additional Notes

The T5 miniature wedge bulb is the bulb type used in the glove box of the Toyota RAV4 for the 1996-1997 model years, operating at 12 volts and drawing 1.4 watts.
The T5 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with a size index of 5 eighths of an inch in width, placing it among the smallest wedge-base bulbs used in automotive interior applications.
At 1.4 watts, the glove box bulb draws very little current, which is typical for low-priority interior lighting that remains on only when the compartment is open.
The bulb number 74 follows the ANSI standardization system recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning equivalent bulbs sold under the same number from different manufacturers share the same electrical and physical specifications.
The wedge base design of the 74 bulb means it is held in its socket by the tension of the base leads rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism, making it a tool-free replacement in most applications.
