Lincoln Continental Map Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 211-2 is the most frequently specified map light bulb across the Lincoln Continental's model history, covering the 1977-1978 and 1988-2002 production years, with a gap in the early 1980s and mid-1980s through 1987.
• The 211-2, 212-2, and 214-2 are all festoon bulbs sharing a 41mm length and SV8.5 base, operating at 12V and 12W. Their physical and electrical similarity means they belong to the same festoon family, though they carry distinct ANSI designations.
• The Lincoln Continental (2000-2002) uses the 214-2, while the 1988-1999 model years use either the 211-2 or 912. Despite the 211-2 and 214-2 sharing identical physical and electrical ratings, they are separate ANSI part numbers and are not listed as interchangeable within these specifications.
• The 912 is a T15 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 12W, and it is listed as a variant of the 921. It appears in the Continental's map light specifications for 1986-1987 and 1998-1999, representing two separate periods of use separated by nearly a decade.
• The BA15s bayonet base is found across four distinct bulb types in these specifications: the 105, 631, 1003, and 89. All four are single-filament bulbs, though they differ in wattage, with the 1003 rated at 21W, the 631 at 21W, and both the 105 and 89 at 13W.
• The 105 and 631 are each listed as variants of the 1156, yet they carry different wattage ratings from one another, 13W and 21W respectively, which makes direct substitution between them a matter of wattage compatibility rather than base type alone.
• The 1816 is a T3.25 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 4W, the lowest wattage of any bulb in these specifications. It is listed for the Continental's 1962-1965 model years.
• The 194, specified for the 1985 model year only, is a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W. It is the sole wedge-type bulb in the specifications that falls below 12W.
• The 89 is described as a lower wattage variant of the 1156 and shares the BA15s bayonet base at 12V and 13W. It is listed for the 1958-1960 model years, making it among the earliest bulb types in the Continental's map light history covered by these specifications.
• The 1003, rated at 21W with a BA15s bayonet base, is the highest-wattage bulb in these specifications and is listed for the 1974-1975 model years.
