Additional Notes

The Cadillac Escalade dome light uses one of two bulb sizes across its model years: the 211-2 for 1999-2000 and 2002-2006, and the 212-2 for 2007-2014.
Both the 211-2 and 212-2 are festoon-style bulbs, meaning they are cylindrical in shape and held in place by spring-clip contacts at each end rather than a screw or bayonet base.
Each bulb carries an SV8.5 base designation, which refers to the festoon contact cap size and confirms the physical mounting interface shared by both types.
Both bulbs operate at 12 volts and consume 12 watts, making their electrical characteristics identical.
Both the 211-2 and 212-2 measure 41mm in length, which is the standard festoon size for this application.
Despite sharing the same physical size, voltage, wattage, and base type, the 211-2 and 212-2 carry distinct ANSI part numbers, and substituting one for the other without confirming fitment for a specific model year is not advised.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The Cadillac Escalade (1999-2006) uses the 211-2, while the 2007-2014 Escalade uses the 212-2, representing a specification change at the 2007 model year.
