Default Map lights and LED's.

I know this topic has been covered and I've searched for quite a while but can't seem to find an answer.
I was looking at Jon_To's LED Thread today and now have a question.
I have the overhead console that runs all the way back and I don't have a single dome light in the back, I have 2 other Map lights.
Are all 4 bulb sizes the same?
I was just thinking about ordering these for a little cheap interior mod and then I looked up at that light in the back and needed to clarify

Thanks in advance.

Check sylvania bulb guide online to get the exact bulb sizes to ensure you get the correct sizes then you should be good to go

Ok wasn't sure if it would show different. Best way to know is pop them open and look. I would assume they are but worst case you order 4 and have 2 extra, they are cheap. I ordered 20 for mine because they were much cheaper per LED even though ill probably never use all of them

Here are some photos, it looks like there are 3 in back, and the normal 2 up front.

Dome light on

Map Lights on

Both On

I would take it apart right now and look but its about 10* here and I don't want to break the plastic or anything.

By that I would say one dome and 4 maps is what you need.
I replaced mine in about 15* temp and didn't have an issue but I use dash removal tools.

Easy way to take them out and just look at the bulbs. You'll be taking them out anyways might as well get some practice
