Additional Notes

The DE3175 is a festoon-type bulb measuring 31mm in length, operating at 12 volts, and making contact through end-cap terminals at each end of the tube rather than through a base socket.
The DE3175 follows the ANSI standard, which is the designation system used in the United States and Canada, as opposed to the ECE system used in Europe.
The Kia Forte uses the DE3175 bulb for the cargo box across the 2021 and 2023 model years.
Festoon bulbs of the same physical length are often cross-compatible, though voltage rating and contact style should match the original specification before substitution is considered.
