Additional Notes

The Toyota Supra glove box uses two distinct bulb sizes across its 1987-1998 model years: the 74 and the 161, both classified under ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets.
Both the 74 and 161 are miniature wedge-type bulbs, a base design that uses a plastic wedge to secure the bulb directly into a socket without a separate metal base or pins.
The 74 bulb is a T5 wedge rated at 12V and 1.4W, while the 161 is a T10 wedge rated at 12V and 1W. The T-number designation refers to the bulb's tubular width in eighths of an inch, making the T10 physically wider than the T5.
The 1994-1998 Toyota Supra specifies the 74 (T5) bulb for the glove box position.
The 1987-1993 model years specify the 161 (T10) bulb for the same glove box position.
Despite both bulbs operating on a 12V system, the wattage difference (1.4W for the 74 versus 1W for the 161) means they draw different amounts of current and are not electrically equivalent.
The physical size difference between the T5 and T10 wedge bases makes the two bulbs non-interchangeable; a T10 bulb will not seat correctly in a socket designed for a T5, and vice versa.
