Additional Notes

The Nissan Quest uses three distinct dome light bulb sizes across its model years: the DE3175, the 578, and the 211-2.
All three bulb types are festoon-style bulbs, meaning they are cylindrical lamps held in place by spring-loaded clips at each end of the housing rather than by a twist or plug-in base.
The DE3175 is a 31mm festoon bulb rated at 12V and uses end-cap contacts. It is the specified dome light bulb for the Nissan Quest across the 2011-2017 model years.
The 578 and the 211-2 share the same 41mm length and both operate at 12V, 12W, but they differ in base design. The 578 uses end-cap contacts, while the 211-2 uses an SV8.5 base, which means the two are not interchangeable despite their identical physical length.
The SV8.5 base on the 211-2 refers to a single-contact festoon base with an 8.5mm cap width, a design that is specific to its socket type and distinct from the open end-cap contact style of the 578.
The 578 bulb is specified for the Quest across the 2004-2009 model years.
The 211-2 bulb is specified for the Nissan Quest across the 1993-2002 model years, making it the longest-running dome light specification in the vehicle's history covered by these data.
All three bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada, indicating standardized sizing and electrical ratings across North American markets.
The DE3175 is shorter than both the 578 and the 211-2 by 10mm. This size difference means the DE3175 is physically incompatible with housings designed for the 41mm bulbs used in earlier Quest model years.
Although the 578 and 211-2 share the same length and wattage, substituting one for the other would require a compatible socket, as their contact configurations differ.
