Default Mystery Bulbs

So I've been trying to figure about what the bulbs are in the front personal dome lights,rear personal lights, and glove box light. I've looked a couple places online, and checked the manual. It lists every bulb on the car except for these. Why?


Picture of my manual


(the point is I'm trying to find LED replacements, so if you know what will work, that would help too)

I was posting this late last night, and I remember thinking, I bet PureDrifter posts the answer for me. Thanks man, that was my guess based off of the bayoneted style and shape.
Any explanation for why the manual doesn't list it?
