Map light. Pop the bulb out and read the etching. Or, look in the owner's manual. Or, the FSM.
Or, go to a store that has the light bulb fitment guide and match it up.
FYI, an LED replacement bulb of that size gives off shitty lighting. Unless you like having the car as dark as the VIP room in a strip club you're better off making a board with your own LEDs.

Indeed. It's a very easy light to make an LED board for, and if you don't mind spending a few bucks extra, you can make an LED light bright enough to blind oncoming traffic like mine lol.

not necessarily true. I got drop in LED replacements from superbrightleds.com.... they are 9 LED clusters.... I'd say it's ~ oem light in my sentra and BRIGHTER than oem in my 240. Granted my 240's dome light is probably the original bulb from 1996.... so it maybe it wasn't as bright as it used to be... lol.

Granted... a custom LED circuit board would probably look way more balla
