Additional Notes

The bulb type 562 is the most frequently specified map light bulb for the Chrysler Newport, covering the 1972-1980 model years with the exception of 1978. It is a festoon-style bulb with a 44mm length and end-cap contacts, rated at 12V and 12W.
The bulb type 1004 is the second most common specification, used across the 1956-1966 model years with the exception of 1967, as well as the 1978 model year. It is a dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V and 21/5W.
Festoon bulbs, such as the 562 and 214-2, are held in place by spring-loaded contacts at each end of the bulb rather than by a base socket, which is a physically distinct mounting method from bayonet or wedge-style bulbs.
The 562 and 214-2 are both 12V, 12W festoon bulbs, but they differ in length. The 562 is 44mm long while the 214-2 is 41mm long, making them physically non-interchangeable despite their similar electrical ratings.
The 1004 is described as a variant of the 1157. Both share the BAY15d bayonet base, but they are not electrically identical, and substituting one for the other without confirming voltage and wattage compatibility is not advisable.
The Chrysler Newport 1971 model year uses the 1895, a T5 miniature wedge bulb rated at just 0.9W. This is substantially lower wattage than any other bulb specified across the model's history, reflecting a significantly different lamp assembly for that year.
The bulb type 90 is specified for the 1967-1970 model years. It is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 13W. The BA15s base accepts only single-filament bulbs, distinguishing it from the BAY15d base used by the dual-filament 1004.
All bulb types listed across the Chrysler Newport map light specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
The 1978 model year is a notable exception within the 1972-1980 range, specifying the 1004 rather than the 562. These two bulbs use entirely different base types, a BAY15d bayonet versus end-cap festoon contacts, and are not interchangeable.
The 1981 model year uses the 214-2, an SV8.5-base festoon bulb. The SV8.5 designation refers to a specific festoon base width, which differs from the end-cap contact design of the 562 used in the preceding model years.
