Additional Notes

The Chrysler Cirrus dome light uses the 578 bulb for the 1995 and 1997-2000 model years, while the 1996 model year uses the 211-2 bulb.
Both the 578 and 211-2 are festoon-style bulbs, meaning they are cylindrical in form and mount horizontally between two contact points within a fixed-length housing.
The 578 and 211-2 share identical electrical ratings of 12 volts and 12 watts, as well as the same 41mm length.
Despite their shared physical length and electrical ratings, the 578 and 211-2 differ in their contact type. The 578 uses end-cap contacts, while the 211-2 uses an SV8.5 base, which features a distinct socket-style fitting.
This contact difference means the 578 and 211-2 are not directly interchangeable, even though their overall size and power draw are the same.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
