Additional Notes

The Chrysler PT Cruiser uses the 192 bulb size for the map light across all listed model years, spanning 2001-2010.
The 192 bulb follows the ANSI standard, which is the recognized classification system for miniature lamps in the United States and Canada.
This bulb is a T10 miniature wedge type, meaning it uses a wedge-shaped base rather than a pin or bayonet fitting to seat into the socket.
The 192 operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
At 3 watts, the 192 is a low-power bulb, typical of interior courtesy and reading light applications.
The wedge base design of the T10 means the bulb is held in place by the socket walls alone, with no separate metal base or locking mechanism required.
Because the 192 is an ANSI-classified bulb, it is a widely produced standard type available across multiple manufacturers, though physical tolerances can vary slightly between brands.
The consistent use of the same bulb size across the entire 2001-2010 production run of the Chrysler PT Cruiser indicates no map light socket changes were made during that period.
