Additional Notes

The Toyota Solara instrument panel uses two ANSI-standard bulb types across the 1999-2001 model years: the 194 and the 74.
The 194 bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 3.78W, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canada markets.
The 74 bulb is a T5 miniature wedge type rated at 12V and 1.4W, also conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canada markets.
The T10 and T5 designations refer to the outer width of the wedge base, with T10 being physically larger than T5, making the two bulb types non-interchangeable despite sharing the same 12V operating voltage.
The 194 bulb draws 3.78W compared to the 74 bulb's 1.4W, reflecting a meaningful difference in power consumption between the two types.
The 2000 Toyota Solara instrument panel specifies the 74 bulb, while the 1999 and 2001 model years specify the 194 bulb, indicating a fitment change between those years that affects direct part substitution.
