Default LED Map Lights

I have a 1995 Ford F150 which has the combination Dome/Map lights. The map lights take the T105 bulb with a 15mm base. The only LED Bulbs I can find with this base are 1156 which are normally used for turn signals, brake lights etc. Does anyone know if using the 1156 bulb in map lights would cause any problems.

I sent them a email 3 or 4 days ago, but never received an answer. They have some 15mm base bulbs that look like they would work OK for map lights.
I am going to order a couple and see how they work out.

I received the 1156 LED's yesterday. It was a tight squeeze but I got them in. I'm happy with the results, much better than the OEM 105 bulb.
