Additional Notes

The 916 bulb is the most frequently specified map light bulb for the Daewoo Nubira, appearing across three of the four model years listed: 1999, 2001, and 2002.
The 916 is a T15 wedge-type bulb, meaning it uses a wedge-shaped base that friction-fits directly into the socket without a separate metal base or pins.
The 916 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 18 watts, placing it in the standard low-wattage range typical of interior courtesy and map lighting applications.
The 916 carries ANSI standardization recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating a defined and consistent specification for voltage, wattage, and base type.
The 2000 Daewoo Nubira uses a DE3175 festoon bulb rather than the wedge-type 916, representing a socket type difference from the surrounding model years.
The DE3175 is a festoon-style bulb with a 31mm length and end-cap contacts, meaning electrical contact is made at each end of the bulb rather than through a base.
The DE3175 is rated at 12 volts, consistent with the 12-volt operating requirement of the 916, though its wattage is not specified in the provided data.
Because the 916 uses a wedge base and the DE3175 uses end-cap festoon contacts, the two bulb types are not interchangeable despite sharing the same operating voltage.
The DE3175 also carries ANSI standardization for the US and Canadian markets, consistent with the same regional classification applied to the 916.
