Additional Notes

The 1816 is the specified glove box bulb for the Ford Maverick across the 1974-1977 model years.
The 1816 bulb follows the ANSI standard, meaning it conforms to a recognized North American specification used in both the United States and Canada.
It belongs to the T3.25 bulb family, a miniature wedge-base type. The T designation refers to a tubular glass envelope, and the 3.25 figure represents the width of the bulb in eighths of an inch.
The wedge base design means the bulb is held in its socket by the glass envelope itself rather than by a separate metal base, which is a common construction method for low-wattage interior lighting applications.
The 1816 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles of that era.
At 4 watts, the 1816 draws a low level of power, which is typical for a small interior courtesy light such as a glove box lamp.
The 1816 bulb type is shared across all four listed model years of the Ford Maverick without variation, indicating a consistent socket and circuit specification throughout that production period.
