is the size 3175 the same as DE3175?? i checked a site for aftermarket interior LED's and it told me that my car's bulbs are DE3175.....and if so do i have to buy 3 separate; 2 in the front dome light and the 1 in the back for an Altima Coupe? sorry if there was already a post like this but i couldn't find one.

HOPE SOMEONE ANSWERS!

i havent changed mine yet so idk.... i like more white ones and the second one looks good and will for sure fit.... the first one would be the brightest but its kinda big. i dont know how many bulbs would be the most you can have in..... i would go with #2 but im safe like that.

I would say go with the brightest one possible. The dome lights are not very bright, i have a 9x bulb in there and it still isn't very bright. Don't just go with the one with the most lights, try to figure out which one is the BRIGHTEST!
