Additional Notes

The Chevrolet K-Series Pickup uses two distinct map light bulb types across its 1993-2000 model years: the 211-2 and the 168.
The 168 bulb is a miniature wedge type, classified under the T10 form factor, operating at 12V with a 4.9W output. It follows the ANSI standard applicable in both the US and Canada.
The 211-2 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base and a 41mm length, rated at 12V and 12W. It also conforms to the ANSI standard for the US and Canada.
The 211-2 draws 12W, making it notably higher in wattage than the 168, which draws only 4.9W. These two bulbs are not interchangeable due to differences in base type, physical form, and wattage.
The Chevrolet K-Series Pickup used the 168 bulb for the 1993-1998 model years, representing six consecutive years with the same map light specification.
The 211-2 festoon bulb was specified for the 1999-2000 model years, indicating a change in the map light socket design relative to earlier models.
The wedge base of the 168 bulb seats by friction fit into a wedge-style socket, while the 211-2 uses an SV8.5 cap base that fits into a festoon holder at each end of the bulb. These two mounting systems are physically incompatible with one another.
