Additional Notes

The Kia Sportage dome light specifications reference three bulb sizes across the model's history: the 6461, DE3175, and 6411, all of which are festoon-type bulbs conforming to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
Festoon bulbs are cylindrical lamps that make contact at both ends of the housing rather than through a side-mounted base, a design common in interior automotive lighting applications such as dome and map lights.
The 6461 is specified for the Kia Sportage dome light across the 2011-2020 model years, making it the most frequently listed bulb size in these specifications.
The 6461 operates at 12 volts and 5 watts, measures 36mm in length, and uses an SV8.5 base, which refers to a festoon base with a nominal 8.5mm body width.
The 6411 shares the same 36mm length, SV8.5 base, 12-volt operating voltage, and 5-watt power rating as the 6461, indicating that the two bulbs are electrically and physically equivalent despite carrying different part numbers.
The 6411 is specified for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage dome light, representing the earliest generation covered in these specifications.
The DE3175 is specified for the 2005-2010 model years and uses end-cap contacts rather than an SV8.5 base, which distinguishes its fitment from the 6461 and 6411 despite all three being festoon bulbs.
The DE3175 measures 31mm in length, making it physically shorter than both the 6461 and 6411, and substituting it in a 36mm housing or vice versa would result in an improper fit.
For the 2008 and 2009 Kia Sportage, the DE3175 is explicitly noted as serving both the center and rear dome light positions, indicating multiple interior lighting locations in those model years use the same bulb size.
Because the 6461 and 6411 share identical physical and electrical specifications, they are generally considered interchangeable in applications where either is listed, whereas the DE3175 is not interchangeable with either due to its differing length and contact type.
