Additional Notes

The 211-2 bulb is the dome light specification for the Ford Elite across both available model years, 1975-1976.
The 211-2 is an ANSI-standardized type, meaning it conforms to a defined North American specification recognized in both the United States and Canada.
This bulb follows a festoon form factor, which is a cylindrical design that mounts by pressing its end caps into spring clips rather than using a threaded or bayonet socket.
The 211-2 has a length of 41mm and uses an SV8.5 base, which refers to the 8.5mm-wide metal end caps characteristic of this festoon family.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 12 watts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems of that era.
The SV8.5 base designation is a fitment-critical detail, as festoon bulbs of similar length but different base widths are not interchangeable with the 211-2 specification.
