Additional Notes

The Nissan NV2500 uses the DE3175 bulb for the map light across the 2012-2021 model years.
The DE3175 is a festoon-style bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in form and makes electrical contact through metal caps at each end rather than through a base socket.
The DE3175 carries an ANSI designation, indicating it conforms to a standardized specification recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The DE3175 has a 31mm length, which is the critical fitment factor for festoon bulbs, as the end-cap contacts must span the fixture's contact points precisely.
The uninterrupted use of the DE3175 across all ten model years means a single bulb type serves the entire documented production range of the Nissan NV2500 for this application.
Festoon bulbs of differing lengths, such as the 28mm DE3021 or the 36mm DE3423, are not interchangeable with the DE3175 even though they share the same end-cap contact design, as an incorrect length will result in poor or no contact within the fixture.
