No Wedge Bulbs in the Dome/Map Light?
First off, I chose to post this in the SC forum because I think this pertains to only the SC and that I would get a faster response. Ok, I searched allover and the Sylvania website for the bulb size for the two map lights on top and the results are:
Glove box
74
Map light
2040
Dome light
194
194LL Long Life Upgrade: Up to twice the life of the standard lamp
Trunk/Cargo area
194
194LL Long Life Upgrade: Up to twice the life of the standard lamp
Instrument-general
194
194LL Long Life Upgrade: Up to twice the life of the standard lamp
So from that guide, I bought 2 194 wedge LED bulbs. After struggling to take it the cover off, I was shocked to find out that the two bulbs are NOT the 194 wedged ones. The bulb looks something more like this...

Yeah, you shouldn't trust Sylvania 100% when it comes to some of their listings (especially for interior lighting). The bulb you posted is a 1157 bulb, I think these look more like or probably are the ones in your map lights:

In the meantime, do you have an owners manual for your car? If not there's a sticky on CL somewhere on how you can get a free one. The manual tells you all the correct bumb sizes and wattage ratings
