Dodge Mirada Dome Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Dodge Mirada uses the 211-2 bulb for its dome light across the 1980-1983 model years.
• The 211-2 is an ANSI-standardized bulb, meaning it conforms to a defined specification recognized across the United States and Canada, ensuring consistent performance and interchangeability within that standard.
• The 211-2 is a festoon-type bulb, which means it is cylindrical in shape and mounts by pressing lengthwise between two spring clips rather than inserting into a socket.
• The bulb has a length of 41mm, which is a critical fitment factor, as festoon bulbs must physically span the distance between the two contact clips in the housing.
• The 211-2 uses an SV8.5 base designation, referring to the diameter of the metal end caps on the festoon bulb, which must match the clip contacts in the fixture.
• The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles of that era.
• At 12 watts, the 211-2 draws a moderate amount of current for an interior dome application, reflecting typical incandescent output levels for that period.
• Because the 211-2 is an ANSI-standardized part, equivalent bulbs from different manufacturers carrying the same designation are generally interchangeable, provided the 41mm length and SV8.5 base are matched.
