Additional Notes

The Dodge B250 map light uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the 906 and the 211-2, both of which conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The 906 bulb is a miniature wedge type with a T10 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 8 watts, and it serves as the map light bulb for the 1988-1994 model years.
The 211-2 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base and a 41mm length, rated at 12 volts and 12 watts, and it is specified for the 1985-1987 model years.
The wedge-style 906 and the festoon-style 211-2 are not interchangeable, as they differ in both physical form factor and wattage, with the 211-2 drawing 4 more watts than the 906.
For the 1986 and 1987 Dodge B250, the 211-2 bulb is specified specifically for vehicles equipped with 4 headlamps, indicating a conditional fitment tied to the headlamp configuration of the vehicle.
The 906 bulb uses a wedge-style base, meaning it is retained by the socket through friction rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism, which is a relevant factor during replacement.
The 211-2 festoon bulb is held between two spring contacts at each end of the socket, a mounting method that is physically incompatible with the wedge socket used by the 906.
