Additional Notes

The Saturn SL1 uses the 562 bulb for the map light across all model years from 1991 to 2002.
The 562 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a recognized North American standard applicable in both the United States and Canada.
The 562 is a festoon-style bulb, which is a cylindrical lamp that seats by pressing lengthwise between two spring-clip contacts rather than inserting into a socket.
The 562 bulb has a 44mm length, which is the span between its two end-cap contacts and must correspond to the housing slot length in the vehicle.
End-cap contacts on the 562 mean electrical connection is made at both flat ends of the bulb, a design typical of festoon lamps used in interior courtesy and map lighting.
The 562 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage of passenger vehicles.
The 562 is rated at 12 watts, placing it in a moderate output range for an interior map light application.
Because the 562 is an ANSI-standardized festoon bulb, other festoon bulbs of a different length would not be interchangeable, as the physical fit depends on the 44mm span matching the housing.
