Plymouth Gran Fury Map Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Plymouth Gran Fury map light bulb specifications cover model years 1972-1989, with three distinct bulb types used across that span.
• All three bulb types specified for the Plymouth Gran Fury, the 912, 214-2, and 562, share the same electrical rating of 12 volts and 12 watts, and all conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
• The 912 bulb is a T15 wedge-base type, meaning it uses a plastic wedge formed directly from the bulb's base to secure itself in the socket rather than a separate metal base component.
• The 912 is noted as a variant of the 921 bulb. These two types share the same physical wedge base and socket fitment, though they differ in wattage, which means substitution between them affects power draw.
• The 912 bulb was used across the 1982-1989 model years of the Gran Fury, making it the most consistently specified map light bulb across the vehicle's production run covered in these records.
• The 214-2 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base and a 41mm length. Festoon bulbs make contact at both ends of the bulb rather than through a side or wedge base, and the SV8.5 designation refers to the style of those end contacts.
• The 562 is also a festoon bulb but with a 44mm length and end-cap contacts, making it physically longer than the 214-2. The two festoon types are not interchangeable due to this difference in length.
• The 214-2 was specified for the 1980-1981 Gran Fury, while the 562 was specified for the 1972-1977 model years, indicating the map light socket housing changed at least twice across the vehicle's production history.
