ok, here's what i found, i'm pm'ing this to OP for updating
these are all festoon bulbs
cargo, and front map lights are both labeled '10d' and they're approx 28mm bulbs
rear map lights were same size but labeled '11b'
I couldn't find any led festoon bulbs on superbright or jdm that were that short, shortest were 30mm
vanity lights had flat end caps and were 29mm long and looked just like old style glass fuzes
reverse light is ba27/921/w16w wedge bulb

hey badapple, when you checked the license bulbs did you notice how they were mounted? pointing down or sideways? and if sideways, what orientation was the socket, flat or vertical compared to the plane of the lens?
LP lights are pointing down.
Just another good source for LEDs. Their festoons are listed by length and are true to size.

with the way the spring mounts are in the map lights i think the 30's on superbright leds i linked in post would work, its what i'm gonna try
Yea...they may. I Put in a order for the map lights and vanity lights. I have not made up my mind on the reverse lights yet because the stock reverse lights work well with my back up camera.

Okay...so i got my LED's in for the front map lights and the rear trunk light...
I have problems!!!
First off...they fit in the map lights...the 31mm was no problem!! When i put both LED's in the sockets and turn the lights to the off position, the map lights stay on...they are dim, but they are on. The only way i can get the map light with the LED to turn completely off is when i remove 1 LED from either map light and place it with a stock bulb...then the LED turns completely off and works properly.
Is there a way to fix this??
Next problem i have is i attempted to put one of the LED's in the trunk light and it worked...then it stopped working. I blew the fuse but can't figure out which fuse is for the trunk light. HELLLPP please... i have been digging in the manual with no luck.
I ordered the 3022-xHP4 Festoon LEDs for the Map lights and the trunk light.

the dim bulbs is really odd...incandescent bulbs would show a low voltage flow before leds would, what happens if you put one led only? then if you push the second led so its just touching the contacts but not installed?
as for the cargo, all ya can do is check ever fuse in teh dash till you find the blown one
