Volkswagen EuroVan Dome Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Volkswagen EuroVan uses the 6411 bulb size across all listed model years for the dome light position.
• The 6411 is an ANSI-standardized bulb designation, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical specifications recognized across the United States and Canada.
• The 6411 is a festoon-style 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 36mm in length, which is the end-to-end span relevant to festoon clip fitment.
• The 6411 uses an SV8.5 base, a designation that refers to the 8.5mm cap width on each end of the festoon body.
• The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, consistent with low-current interior lighting in 12-volt automotive electrical systems.
• The listed model years for the Volkswagen EuroVan span 1993-2003, though the data reflects specific years within that range rather than an uninterrupted sequence.
• Because a single bulb type covers all listed years, a 6411 sourced for one of those model years is electrically and physically consistent with the others in the list.
• Festoon bulbs of the same length and base designation from different manufacturers are generally interchangeable, provided the 36mm length and SV8.5 base specification are met.
• Substituting a festoon bulb of a different length, such as 31mm or 41mm, would result in a poor fit within the spring clip housing designed for the 36mm 6411.
