Additional Notes

The 2024 Kia Seltos glove box uses the 12961 bulb, a Philips part number designation for a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W.
The T10 wedge form factor is a small cylindrical bulb that seats by friction through a twist-and-pull socket, requiring no separate retaining clip or holder.
The 2023 Kia Seltos glove box uses the DE3423, an ANSI-standard festoon bulb with a 41mm length and end-cap contacts, also rated at 12V.
A festoon bulb makes electrical contact through metal caps at each end of the bulb body, which differs fundamentally from the wedge-style base of the 12961 used in the 2024 model.
Because the 2023 and 2024 Seltos glove box bulbs use physically incompatible base types, a festoon and a wedge bulb are not interchangeable between these two model years.
The DE3423 designation follows ANSI standardization, meaning it is a recognized specification across the United States and Canada rather than a manufacturer-specific part number.
The 12961 carries a wattage rating of 5W, while the DE3423 specification as provided does not include a wattage value, making direct power consumption comparison between the two model years unavailable from these specifications alone.
