Additional Notes

The 1986 Chrysler Laser uses a 906 bulb for the map light, while the 1984 model uses a 562 bulb. These two model years require different bulb types, and the parts are not interchangeable.
The 906 is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge bulb with a T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 8W. Its wedge-style base is held in place by spring tension in the socket, with no separate metal base or pins.
The 562 is an ANSI-standard festoon bulb measuring 44mm in length, rated at 12V and 12W. Festoon bulbs make contact at both ends via end-cap contacts, fitting between two spring clips within the housing.
The 562 draws 12W compared to the 906 at 8W. Installing a higher-wattage bulb in a socket rated for a lower-wattage type can cause excessive heat and potential damage to the surrounding fixture.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, meaning they follow defined specifications for electrical and physical characteristics within those markets.
The T10 designation of the 906 refers to the bulb envelope width, expressed in eighths of an inch, placing it in the miniature bulb category commonly used in low-current interior lighting applications.
The festoon format of the 562, with its 44mm length and end-cap contacts, is a physically distinct mounting style from the wedge base of the 906. The two bulb types require entirely different socket designs and are not compatible with each other's housings.
