Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Silverado instrument panel uses two bulb types across the 1999-2002 model years: PC161 and PC195.
Both the PC161 and PC195 are classified under ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets.
The PC161 is the instrument panel bulb for the 1999-2001 Silverado, covering three consecutive model years.
The 2002 Silverado uses the PC195, which represents a change from the PC161 used in prior model years.
Both bulb types share the T10 miniature wedge form factor, a small single-contact base widely used in instrument cluster applications.
Both bulbs operate at 12 volts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
Both the PC161 and PC195 use a printed circuit board twist-lock socket, a mounting type designed specifically for direct integration with instrument cluster circuit boards.
Although the PC161 and PC195 share the same T10 form factor and voltage rating, they are distinct part numbers and are not confirmed as interchangeable across the 2001 and 2002 model years.
