The Yugo GVL uses 194 bulb size for both front and rear side marker applications. The replacement chart covers 1988 to 1989 model years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 194 bulb is the sole bulb type listed across all side marker positions for the Yugo GVL, covering both the 1988-1989 model years.
The 194 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in the United States and Canada, classifying it as a regionally standardized automotive lamp.
It belongs to the T10 form factor, a miniature wedge-base bulb type that seats without a twist-lock mechanism, relying instead on socket tension to hold the bulb in place.
The 194 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles of that era.
Its rated power draw is 3.78 watts, placing it in the low-wattage category typical of side marker applications where continuous illumination is required without significant electrical load.
The front and rear side marker positions on the GVL share the same 194 bulb specification, meaning a single bulb type serves all four side marker sockets on the vehicle.
The T10 wedge base is a widely used form factor, and numerous bulb variants from different manufacturers are produced to fit it, though electrical compatibility at 12V and 3.78W remains the relevant matching criteria for direct replacement.
Because the 194 is an ANSI-standardized type, its physical and electrical parameters are defined by a recognized industry specification rather than being proprietary to a single manufacturer.
