194 Bulbs Work?, they are small

I am redoing headlights and decided to replace all bulbs in front. The bulbs I have in the parking and side marker are bigger than the 194 Bulbs that are being sold at autoparts store.. The 194 are mini bulbs, how look like they have the same socket as the bigger bulbs that were in there.

I didnt want to buy something that wasnt gonna work, the kid at O'Reillys had no clue.

You can use which ever, the sockets fit both a 194 and 921. I believe the 921 is brighter. I think technically the 194 goes in the turn signal housing and the 921 goes in the corner marker light, although the 194 isnt as big of an eye sore in the corner marker light as the 921.

Fwiw im running 194 style in both positions of course they are leds though. Another thing i would suggest if your swapping to the crystal clear lenses is paint the socket for the corner marker light, mine was an ugly orange/pinkish color, used a small brush and painted it silver being carefull to not get any on the contacts, blends in nicely


This is whats commonly referred to as crystal/diamond headlights. The factory style is fluted and the corner socket isnt as noticeable

If your using incandescent bulbs id do All amber besides the headlight. Id do the 3157NA for the turn, 921NA for the bottom marker and a 194NA for the corner marker, also id advise to take some silver or gray paint and paint the corner marker light pigtail where the bulb plugs in


The only time id do a white bulb in the corner marker light is if you went the led route
