Additional Notes

The Kia Amanti uses the 6461 bulb for the dome light across all model years covered in these specifications, spanning 2004-2009.
The 6461 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its physical and electrical characteristics are defined by a recognized North American standard used in both the United States and Canada.
The 6461 is a festoon-style bulb, which is a cylindrical lamp that makes contact at both ends rather than through a screw or pin base.
The 6461 bulb has a 36mm length, which is a critical fitment factor, as festoon bulbs must match the span of the holder to make proper contact at both ends.
The base type for the 6461 is SV8.5, a designation that refers to the metal cap size at each end of the festoon bulb, with 8.5 indicating the cap width in millimeters.
The 6461 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles.
The 6461 is rated at 5 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of interior courtesy and dome lighting applications.
Because the 6461 is an ANSI-standardized part, it is produced by multiple manufacturers, and any 6461-designated bulb meeting the same voltage, wattage, base type, and length specifications is considered a direct replacement.
Festoon bulbs of differing lengths are not interchangeable even when voltage and wattage ratings match, as an incorrect length will prevent proper contact within the holder.
