Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Equinox luggage compartment uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the 194 and the 562, both of which are ANSI-standardized components rated for use in the US and Canada.
The 194 is a T10 miniature wedge bulb operating at 12V and 3.78W. Its wedge-style base means it is retained by friction rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism, and it is inserted directly into a compatible socket without a separate holder.
The 562 is a festoon-type bulb with a 44mm length and end-cap contacts. It seats between two spring clips within a festoon socket, a mounting arrangement physically incompatible with the wedge socket used by the 194.
The 562 operates at 12V and 12W, producing notably higher wattage than the 194 at 3.78W. These two bulbs are not interchangeable due to differences in both socket type and power draw.
The Chevrolet Equinox (2010-2018) uses the 194 bulb for the luggage compartment across nine consecutive model years.
The 562 festoon bulb is specified for the 2005-2009 model years, covering five consecutive years of production.
A socket type change occurred between the 2009 and 2010 model years, transitioning from the festoon 562 to the wedge-base 194. Substituting one bulb type for the other without an appropriate socket adapter would result in an incompatible fit.
