Additional Notes

The two bulb types specified for the Kia Sorento luggage compartment are the 6461 and the DE3175, both of which are festoon-style bulbs operating on a 12-volt electrical system and conforming to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
Festoon bulbs are cylindrical lamps that mount horizontally between two spring-loaded contacts or end caps, a form factor commonly used in enclosed interior lighting applications such as luggage compartments.
The 6461 bulb has a 36mm length and uses an SV8.5 base, which refers to a single-contact bayonet-style end fitting with an 8.5mm cap width. It is rated at 5 watts.
The DE3175 bulb has a 31mm length and uses end-cap contacts, meaning the electrical connection is made through metal caps at each end of the bulb rather than a bayonet or wedge fitting. No wattage rating is listed for this type in the provided specifications.
The 6461 and DE3175 are not interchangeable. Their differing lengths (36mm versus 31mm) and base types mean each requires a housing designed specifically for that bulb's physical format.
The 2020 Kia Sorento uses the 6461 bulb for the luggage compartment, while the 2003-2006 models use the DE3175.
The 2018 Kia Sorento also uses the DE3175, placing it in agreement with the earlier 2003-2006 generation rather than the 2020 model year specification.
