The Chrysler 300 dome light utilizes bulb sizes 1004, 211-2, and 12961 depending on the specific version of the vehicle. Available data covers the range from 1956 through 2023 for the components listed in the provided specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 1004 bulb is the most frequently specified dome light bulb across the Chrysler 300 data, covering model years 1956-1968. It is an ANSI-standard dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V and 21/5W, and is a variant of the widely known 1157 bulb.
The BAY15d bayonet base of the 1004 bulb features offset pins, which is a defining characteristic of that base type and prevents incorrect installation with single-filament bayonet bulbs sharing a similar physical profile.
The 211-2 festoon bulb is specified for the Chrysler 300 dome light in 1969-1971. It uses an SV8.5 base, measures 41mm in length, and is rated at 12V and 12W.
The 12961 is a Philips part number for a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W. It is specified for the dome light of the Chrysler 300 in 2021 and 2023.
The rear dome light of the Chrysler 300 for 2021-2023 uses the 562 festoon bulb, an ANSI-standard type with end-cap contacts, 44mm in length, and rated at 12V and 12W.
The 562 and 211-2 are both 12V, 12W festoon bulbs, but they are not interchangeable. The 562 is 44mm in length with end-cap contacts, while the 211-2 is 41mm with an SV8.5 base, making the physical fitment of each specific to its designated socket.
The front dome light of the Chrysler 300 transitions from the 211-2 festoon type used in 1969-1971 to the 12961 wedge type used in 2021 and 2023, reflecting a change in socket design across those generations.
