Description	Bulb Size
ANSI standard (US & Canada). Festoon bulb, 36mm length, SV8.5 base. 12V, 5W.	6418

The Kia Soul EV uses the 6418 bulb for the glove box across the 2015-2018 model years.
The 6418 is an ANSI-standardized bulb designation recognized in both the United States and Canada.
It is a festoon-type bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in shape and mounts by pressing between two spring clips at each end rather than inserting into a socket.
The 6418 has a 36mm length, which is the span between the two contact ends and determines physical fitment within the festoon holder.
It uses an SV8.5 base, a designation that refers to the contact cap style used on festoon bulbs with an 8.5mm cap width.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
Its rated wattage is 5W, placing it in the low-power range typical of interior illumination applications such as glove boxes.
When replacing the 6418, fitment depends on both the 36mm length and the SV8.5 base type; festoon bulbs of differing lengths or base styles are not interchangeable even if the voltage and wattage match.
