I bought some clear 194's for my outer turn signals when i cleared my corners, they were longer than the original and didnt work. The package said on the back "perfect lighting solution to help finish your custom taillight application." Did they not work since they are for the taillights and why didnt they say 194R or something like that to let me know?

they're longer and dont work? i dont see how that's possible.

yeah they say 194 on the package and are slightly longer than the ones that came in the headlight. I plugged em in and they will not light up. i tried switching sides and turning them to see if the polarities were backwards but no dice.

they could be 168's

as far as illumination and polarities go, 194's or 168's will work.

i'd check your fuses.... maybe one blew at the first reverse polarity or something weird like that.
