Additional Notes

The Volvo VNM uses the 5008 bulb for the map light across the 2011-2018 model years.
The 5008 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type recognized in both the United States and Canada.
It operates on a 12-volt electrical system, consistent with standard automotive low-voltage circuits.
The 5008 features a single-filament design, meaning it serves one lighting function rather than switching between two brightness levels.
Its base type is the BA15s bayonet mount, a single-contact bayonet fitting that locks into the socket with a twist.
The 5008 is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb, sharing the same BA15s base but drawing less power, which makes the two types not directly interchangeable despite their physical similarities.
