Actually a 194 bulb is only 3.78 watts. The correct bulb to use in the running boards is a 906 bulb which is 9 watts.

Well, i guess both will work cause i slapped a 194 in it today and worked. Does not seem any dimmer. I'm guessing a 906, being 9 watts would be brighter then a 194?

Yes, the 906 is almost 2.5X brighter than the 194. The 194 is more commonly used to light up the dash, license plates, or used in side marker lights. The reason for the brighter 906 bulb in the running boards is to better illuminate it as a foot step at night.

Problem, 906 will not fit into the housing. It is to big (long). Can anyone say they have actually replaced there bulb with a 906?

Well i got the lights in there just to see how i would like the color change. And i must say for such a cheap exterior mod, I think it looks pretty damn nifty. Now to just wait on the 194's to get here.. I got a whole box of 904G's green if anyone is interested. Make me an offer in PM's.
