Additional Notes

The 916 bulb is the most frequently specified map light bulb for the Daewoo Leganza, appearing across three of the four model years listed: 1999, 2001, and 2002.
The 916 is a T15 wedge-type bulb rated at 12 volts and 18 watts, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The wedge base design of the 916 means it is held in place by friction rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism, which is a common trait in interior automotive lighting applications.
The 2000 Daewoo Leganza departs from the 916 specification, instead using the 6461 bulb for the map light position.
The 6461 is a festoon-type bulb with a 36mm length and an SV8.5 base, rated at 12 volts and 5 watts.
Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and make contact at each end rather than through a base socket, which is a fundamentally different mounting method from the wedge-style 916.
The 916 operates at 18 watts while the 6461 operates at 5 watts, meaning the two bulbs are not electrically equivalent and are not interchangeable despite both being 12-volt components.
The physical form factors of the 916 wedge and the 6461 festoon are also incompatible, as each requires a distinct socket type within the fixture housing.
