Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Lumina dome light uses two bulb types across its model years: the 561 for 1990-1996 and the 562 for 1997-2001.
Both the 561 and 562 are festoon-style bulbs, meaning they are cylindrical in shape and make electrical contact through metal caps at each end rather than through a base socket.
Both bulbs share identical physical and electrical ratings: 44mm in length, 12 volts, and 12 watts.
The 561 and 562 are each recognized as ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
Because the 561 and 562 share the same length and voltage and wattage ratings, the practical difference between them is their ANSI designation rather than a measurable difference in size or power draw.
The end-cap contact design of festoon bulbs requires a holder that grips both ends of the bulb, which is a distinct fitment type from wedge-base or bayonet-base bulbs and is not interchangeable with those formats.
The transition from the 561 to the 562 in the Chevrolet Lumina occurred between the 1996 and 1997 model years, making bulb type verification relevant when sourcing a replacement for a specific model year.
