just dealt with this a couple months ago...just use the regular ones they carry everywhere. I got mine at Meijer's (Midwest chain store...better than Wal-Mart) and they worked just fine. No need to spend more money on a tiny light bulb!

I don't know the type of bulb, but its pretty universal and lots of cars use it. Check on EBay, I saw somewhere where they have LED versions of the bulb. Seller was advertising them and had 99.5% feedback... and he had the one bulb and it fit Hyundai, Acura, Mitsubishi, etc. So its pretty common.

Mine dind't blow, but I only have a dome light, no map light (I wonder if I can add that. I bet the wiring is there already...), so I want something brighter. I was thinking about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...ssPageName=WDVW
I might try that out. It looks somewhat homemade though. But I was going to stay away from the "xenon hyperwhite" bulbs since they're twice the wattage. I don't want to chance melting any wires or blowing fuses.
That seller also has the 194 gauge bulbs in the led variety.
