Additional Notes

The Oldsmobile Bravada dome light bulb specifications cover the 1996-2004 model years, with two distinct bulb types used across that span: the 194 and the 562.
The 562 is a festoon-style bulb with end-cap contacts and a 44mm length, operating at 12V and 12W. It is the bulb type used in the Bravada from 1996 through 2001.
The 194 is a miniature wedge bulb of the T10 form factor, operating at 12V and 3.78W. It is specified for the 2002-2004 model years.
Both the 194 and 562 are ANSI-standardized bulbs recognized in the US and Canada, meaning each conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical parameters within that standard.
The 562 festoon bulb draws 12W, while the 194 wedge bulb draws only 3.78W. These two types are not electrically or physically interchangeable due to differences in wattage, socket type, and contact design.
For the 1998-2001 Oldsmobile Bravada, the 562 bulb specification carries a conditional note restricting it to vehicles without the sunroof option coded CF5, indicating that sunroof-equipped trims of those years use a different dome light configuration.
The 1996 and 1997 model years list the 562 without any sunroof-related condition, suggesting the trim distinction was not applied to those earlier entries.
The T10 designation of the 194 bulb refers to its tubular wedge shape with a 10mm width, a form factor commonly seated in push-in wedge sockets without a separate base or cap.
Festoon bulbs such as the 562 are held in place by spring-loaded clips at each end rather than a socket, which is a physically distinct mounting method from the wedge socket used by the 194.
