Question:

Hi - Are these bulbs suitable for replacing C194 incandescent side marker bulbs? Are they designed to survive moisture and harsh conditions? Will they fit my side marker receptacles and allow lenses to close? Thanks

The 194 LED Light Bulb, part # DI88VR, are suitable for replacing your current C194 bulbs as they are both 194s and have the wedge bases.

As for fitting your current fixture, I cannot say for sure. This particular bulb has dimensions of 1.711" long x 1.336" wide. Of course, since your current bulb is also a 194, it's highly likely that this will fit your fixture.

Regarding the weather resistance, I called Diamond Group to confirm. They stated that they can't guarantee it will hold up to extreme weather, but there is a 5-year warranty should anything go wrong with them.

I've linked to a video review below.
