Additional Notes

The Dodge 600 dome light uses two distinct bulb types across its production years: the 194 and the 211-2, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 194 is a miniature wedge-style bulb in the T10 form factor, operating at 12 volts and drawing 3.78 watts. The T10 designation refers to a tubular envelope roughly 10/8 of an inch wide, with a wedge base that seats directly into a socket without a separate metal base.
The 211-2 is a festoon-type bulb, meaning it is a cylindrical lamp held in place by spring-loaded end caps rather than a socket base. It uses an SV8.5 base designation and measures 41mm in length, operating at 12 volts and drawing 12 watts.
The 194 bulb draws significantly less wattage than the 211-2, reflecting a difference in intended application intensity rather than a difference in operating voltage, as both run on a standard 12-volt automotive circuit.
For the Dodge 600, the 194 bulb applies to the 1987-1988 model years, while the 211-2 applies to the 1983-1985 model years.
The two bulb types are not interchangeable. The 194 uses a wedge base and the 211-2 uses a festoon mounting system, meaning the socket designs are physically incompatible with one another.
The wattage difference between the two bulbs is also a factor in non-interchangeability. Substituting a 12-watt festoon into a circuit or socket rated for a 3.78-watt wedge bulb would place excess load on that circuit.
