Default Looking for interior light part numbers

Hi - Just got our 04 lariat - I'm looking for the light bulb that is in the front of the cab on the roof - is that called the map light? Not sure.

Does anyone have a recommendation for led replacement lights? I think that's the route I'm going to take when they burn out.

Thanks!

I went to Farm and Fleet and found the Phillips 906 which work fine - $4 for a pair - these are not led's......

My bigger problem was both of the mirror reflectors were broken off of the white plastic housing, as well as a lot of melting of the plastic around each bulb.... Had to use my knife and scrape some of the melted plastic before I could even get the bulbs out.

I just hot glued the reflectors back into place, scraped away a bunch of oxidation for the brass contact points and I'm good to go!

If you’re seeing melting around your sockets, it’s possible the CP rating on the bulb is too high. Ex, 168 has more candlepower than a 194. While it may burn brighter, the sacrifice will be at the expense of your lamp socket.
