Additional Notes

The Nissan NV1500 uses the DE3175 bulb size for the map light across all model years represented in the specifications, spanning 2012-2020.
The DE3175 is a festoon-type bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in shape and makes electrical contact through metal caps at each end rather than through a base socket.
Festoon bulbs are held in place by spring-loaded clips that press against the end caps, a mounting method common in interior lighting applications such as map and dome lights.
The DE3175 has a nominal length of 31mm, which is the critical physical specification that determines whether the bulb will seat correctly within the festoon holder.
The "DE" prefix in the DE3175 designation indicates compliance with ANSI standards as recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The DE3175 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger and commercial vehicles.
Because festoon bulbs are sized by length, substituting a bulb of a different length, such as a 28mm or 36mm festoon, would result in an improper fit within the NV1500 map light housing.
