Additional Notes

The Saturn SL uses the 562 bulb for the map light across all listed model years, spanning 1991-2002.
The 562 is a festoon-style bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in shape and makes electrical contact through metal caps at each end rather than through a base socket.
The 562 bulb has a length of 44mm, which is the critical fitment factor for festoon bulbs, as the housing retains the bulb by tension between its two end contacts.
The 562 operates at 12 volts and 12 watts, which is consistent with standard automotive interior lighting circuits.
The 562 designation follows ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating a standardized specification rather than a proprietary part number.
Because festoon bulbs are retained by length rather than by a keyed base, substituting a festoon bulb of a different length risks poor contact or failure to seat properly in the Saturn SL map light housing.
