Additional Notes

The 562 bulb is the map light bulb size for the Dodge Royal Monaco across the 1975-1977 model years.
The 562 follows the ANSI standard, meaning it conforms to a specification recognized across the United States and Canada.
It is a festoon-type bulb, a form factor characterized by a cylindrical body with flat metal end-cap contacts at each end rather than a screw or bayonet base.
The 562 has a rated length of 44mm, which is the physical span between its two end contacts and is a critical factor in fitment within the map light housing.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles of that era.
It carries a power rating of 12 watts, which determines the current draw and the light output level for the map light function.
Because festoon bulbs rely on contact length for fitment, substituting a festoon bulb of a different length risks poor electrical contact or physical incompatibility with the Royal Monaco's map light socket.
