Map Light Bulb numbers:
A. 175 DOUBLE END BULB - Interior Light (WITHOUT Sliding Moon Roof)
The cover just 'snaps-in' to place, similar to a Beer Stein's cap. Remember that it is just a plastic and should slightly flex. Looking closely at the clear plastic cover, you may notice a tiny rectangle indention - this is the location of the plastic 'nub' that snaps the cover in to place. Use this 'nub' as a guide to where your flat-head screwdriver is to be used.
B. 293 SINGLE END BULB - Interior Light (WITH Sliding Moon Roof)
HINT: It is suggested that you tape the end if your flat-head screw-driver (with electrical-tape, since it is softer than most other tape) to avoid scratching the plastic.

After opening the map light enclosure to take the bulb out, I drove to the local Pepboys/AutoZone and matched up the size of the bulb to something they had there in RED to match my red Celica (Also available in BLUE colored bulb and WHITE colored bulb).
The total project cost was under $4 for the single package. The package included a set of TWO bulbs, although you only need ONE to complete this project.
After a few jokes about now being able to develop film while driving (with this new RED lighting), I was happy with the new "mood lighting" that was installed. Then after about a week, I went back to stock WHITE lighting so I could see easily, maps and such while driving at night.
