Additional Notes

The Nissan Kicks uses two distinct dome light bulb types across its model years: the 12961 (a T10 wedge bulb) for 2023-2024 and the DE3175 (a 31mm festoon bulb) for 2018-2020.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designation for a miniature wedge bulb with a T10 profile and a W2.1x9.5d base, operating at 12V and 5W.
The W2.1x9.5d base on the 12961 refers to a wedge-style base where the bulb glass itself acts as the contact point, fitting into a slotted socket without pins or caps.
The DE3175 is an ANSI-standardized designation recognized in the United States and Canada, identifying a festoon-type bulb with a 31mm length and end-cap contacts at both terminals.
Festoon bulbs make electrical contact through metal caps at each end, which press against spring-loaded holders inside the dome light housing, a fundamentally different mounting method from the wedge base used by the 12961.
Because the T10 wedge and the 31mm festoon use incompatible socket types, the 12961 and DE3175 are not interchangeable, and substituting one for the other is not possible without modifying the housing.
Both bulb types operate on a 12V circuit, which is standard for automotive interior lighting systems.
