Additional Notes

The Oldsmobile LSS uses two distinct map light bulb sizes across its production years, the 212-2 for 1997-1999 and the 906 for 1996.
The 212-2 is a festoon-type bulb, meaning it is cylindrical with end caps that seat into spring-loaded clips rather than a socket.
The 212-2 measures 41mm in length and uses an SV8.5 base, operating at 12 volts and drawing 12 watts.
The 906 is a miniature wedge bulb of the T10 form factor, which uses a wedge-shaped plastic base that presses directly into a friction-fit socket with no separate metal base pins.
The 906 operates at 12 volts and draws 8 watts, making it a lower-wattage bulb than the 212-2 used in later model years.
Both the 212-2 and the 906 conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The 212-2 and the 906 are not interchangeable, as they differ in base type, physical form, and wattage, requiring the correct bulb for the specific model year of the LSS.
