Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Aveo uses the 6461 bulb for the trunk across the 2007-2011 model years.
The 6461 is classified as a festoon bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in shape and mounts by pressing lengthwise between two spring clips rather than inserting into a socket.
The 6461 bulb measures 36mm in length, which is a standard festoon size commonly found in interior and cargo lighting applications across many vehicle platforms.
It uses an SV8.5 base, a designation that refers to the contact caps at each end of the festoon body, with 8.5mm indicating the cap width.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of non-illumination interior lighting such as trunk and glove box lamps.
The 6461 designation conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating a standardized specification for electrical and physical characteristics.
Because festoon bulbs rely on physical length and cap width for fitment, substituting a bulb with a different length or cap size risks poor contact or failure to seat correctly in the trunk lamp housing.
