Additional Notes

The DE3175 is a festoon-type bulb with a 31mm length and end-cap contacts, operating at 12V. It is the most frequently specified dome light bulb across the Kia Sorento lineup, appearing in the 2006 and 2021-2024 model years.
The 6461 is a festoon-type bulb with a 36mm length and an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 5W. The SV8.5 base uses a bayonet-style socket, which is physically distinct from the end-cap contact design used by the DE3175 and DE3423, making these types non-interchangeable.
The DE3423 is a festoon-type bulb with a 41mm length and end-cap contacts, operating at 12V. Although it shares the same end-cap contact design as the DE3175, its 41mm length is 10mm longer, and the two types are not interchangeable.
The 904 is a miniature wedge bulb of the T10 type, rated at 12V and 8W. Unlike the festoon bulbs specified elsewhere in the Sorento lineup, the 904 uses a wedge base and is not physically compatible with festoon-style sockets.
The 2005 Kia Sorento center dome light has a mid-year bulb change, with the 904 specified for vehicles produced up to September 1, 2004, and the DE3175 specified for vehicles produced from that date onward. Production date, not model year alone, determines the correct fitment for this year.
All four bulb types in these specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating standardized electrical and physical tolerances within their respective categories.
The 2020 and 2018 Kia Sorento share the 6461 specification, while the 2021-2024 models use the DE3175. The differing base types between these two bulbs means the socket design changed between the 2020 and 2021 model years.
The 904 wedge bulb carries the highest wattage of any type listed, at 8W, compared to the 5W rating of the 6461. The DE3175 and DE3423 have no wattage listed in the provided specifications.
