Additional Notes

The Saturn SL uses the 562 bulb for the dome light across all listed model years, spanning 1991-2002.
The 562 is classified as a festoon bulb, a cylindrical type that seats by pressing lengthwise between two spring-loaded end contacts rather than inserting into a socket.
The 562 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 12 watts, which is standard for interior dome lighting in passenger vehicles of this era.
At 44mm in length, the 562 must fit within a housing designed for that specific span between contact points, making physical length a critical factor in fitment.
The 562 carries ANSI standardization recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical parameters across manufacturers.
Because festoon bulbs rely on end-cap contacts rather than a keyed base, polarity orientation during installation is not a concern for the filament-based 562.
The consistent use of a single bulb size across the entire 1991-2002 production run of the Saturn SL indicates that the dome light housing specification did not change during that period.
