Additional Notes

The 904 bulb is an ANSI-standard miniature wedge type with a T10 base, rated at 12V and 8W. It is the most frequently specified map light bulb across the Kia Soul model years listed, appearing in the 2010, 2011, and 2022-2024 model years.
The DE3175 is a festoon-style bulb with a 31mm length and end-cap contacts, rated at 12V. It is specified as the front map light bulb for the Kia Soul across the 2014-2016 model years.
The 168 bulb shares the same T10 wedge base form factor as the 904 but operates at a lower wattage of 4.9W compared to the 904's 8W. Despite the physical similarity, the two bulbs are not interchangeable due to the difference in wattage output.
The 2019 model year uses the 168 bulb, which differs from both the 904 used in later years and the DE3175 used in earlier years, indicating a change in map light socket or housing design across generations.
The DE3175 festoon bulb makes contact through its end caps rather than through a wedge base, meaning it is physically incompatible with the T10 wedge sockets required by the 904 and 168 bulbs.
All bulb types listed across the Soul's map light specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada, indicating consistent regulatory compliance across the fitment range.
