The Nissan Rogue dome light utilizes bulb sizes 12961 and DE3175 for interior illumination across various production versions. Available data covers a span of time starting in 2008 and ending in 2024.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The DE3175 is an ANSI-designated festoon bulb measuring 31mm in length with end-cap contacts and operates at 12 volts. This format seats into spring-loaded holders at both ends of the bulb, which is the standard mounting method for festoon-style interior lighting.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12 volts and 5 watts. The wedge base relies on the bulb's glass envelope and wire leads to create a friction fit within the socket, requiring no separate locking mechanism.
The Nissan Rogue used the DE3175 festoon bulb for the dome light across the 2008-2020 model years, making it the predominant fitment across the listed specifications.
The 12961 wedge bulb replaced the DE3175 festoon type for the dome light in the 2023-2024 Rogue, reflecting a socket design change between generations that makes the two bulb types mutually incompatible despite both operating at 12 volts.
The festoon and wedge base formats are physically distinct and non-interchangeable. Installing a wedge-base bulb into a festoon socket, or vice versa, is not possible without modification to the socket housing.
For the rear dome light, the 2023 Rogue uses the 12961 wedge bulb, while the 2019 model uses the DE3175 festoon type, confirming that the socket change affected both front and rear dome positions across the generation transition.
