The Toyota RAV4 uses the 74 bulb size for its instrument panel across the 1996-2000 model years.
The 74 bulb is an ANSI-standardized type, meaning its specifications are governed by a recognized North American standard applicable in both the US and Canada.
It belongs to the T5 form factor, which refers to a miniature wedge-base bulb with a tubular envelope roughly 5/8 of an inch wide.
The wedge base design means the bulb is held in place by the socket gripping the glass envelope itself, with no separate metal base or pins involved.
The 74 bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles.
At 1.4 watts, the 74 bulb draws very low power, which is typical for instrument panel illumination where heat and current draw must be kept minimal.
