Additional Notes

The Pontiac Solstice uses the 212-2 bulb for the map light across all four model years covered, spanning 2006-2009.
The 212-2 is an ANSI-standardized bulb, meaning it conforms to a defined specification recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The 212-2 is a festoon-type bulb, which is a cylindrical lamp that mounts by pressing its two end caps into spring clips rather than inserting into a socket.
The bulb measures 41mm in length, which is the end-to-end span relevant to festoon fitment, as the spring clips must match this figure for the bulb to seat correctly.
The 212-2 uses an SV8.5 base, a designation that refers to the 8.5mm width of the metal end caps on a festoon bulb.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage of passenger vehicles.
The 212-2 draws 12 watts, placing it in a moderate output range typical of interior reading and map lights.
Because festoon bulbs are sized by both length and base width, a replacement must match both the 41mm length and the SV8.5 base to fit the Pontiac Solstice map light housing correctly.
