bulb question: 194=168?
I hope so. I put on my jdm corners yesterday, I have hyperwhite bulbs(Polarg) but I want some amber. My car calls for 168 bulbs, but I could only find 194's in amber. Will they suffice? I can't look at the Polarg bulb to see what it's part# is cause it doesn't say. 168's and 194's look identical

only difference would be wattage. i forgot which one, but one of them maybe a tad dimmer than the other.

Most 194's and 168's are interchangable.
Just like 3496 is replaceable with the far more common/cheaper/selection of 1157.

168 and 194 has a different filament orientation. I believe 168 is brighter then 194. That is why Accords use 168 and 168 is more common.

the filament orientation is the same, just one is a bit thicker than the other. Im gonna put the 194's in and see how it looks, hopefully it'll be alright.

Interesting cause I've seen them into different filament orientation.
