Additional Notes

The Pontiac Parisienne uses two bulb types across its listed model years: the 562 fits the 1985-1986 models, while the 561 fits the 1983-1984 models.
Both the 562 and 561 are festoon-style bulbs, meaning they are cylindrical in shape and make electrical contact through metal caps at each end rather than through a base socket.
The 562 and 561 share identical physical and electrical ratings: 44mm in length, end-cap contacts, 12 volts, and 12 watts.
Despite their near-identical specifications, the 562 and 561 carry different ANSI designations, which indicates they are catalogued as distinct part numbers and should not be assumed to be interchangeable without confirming fitment for the specific model year.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada, placing them within a standardized North American automotive lighting classification system.
The 12-watt rating of both bulbs reflects a relatively low power draw typical of interior dome lighting applications, where prolonged use without the engine running is common.
