Additional Notes

The 562 bulb is the sole map light bulb size listed for the Plymouth Arrow Pickup across the 1979-1982 model years.
The 562 is a festoon-type bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in shape and makes electrical contact through metal caps at each end rather than through a base socket.
Festoon bulbs are held in place by spring-loaded clips that press against the end caps, a mounting method common in interior lighting applications such as map and dome lights.
The 562 bulb has a nominal length of 44mm, which is the span between its two end-cap contacts and determines physical fitment within the lamp holder.
It operates at 12 volts and draws 12 watts, figures consistent with standard automotive low-voltage electrical systems of that era.
The 562 designation follows the ANSI standardization system used in the United States and Canada, indicating the bulb conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical parameters recognized across those markets.
Because festoon bulbs are specified by both length and contact style, substituting a festoon bulb of a different length would result in an improper fit even if the voltage and wattage ratings matched.
