It seems that this is the dome light bulb?

Does anyone know if this will fit in the dome light?

There are different bulbs that will work as long as they are 12 volt and have the same base. This does not mean they will have the sameoutput or fit in every application. The license plate lights are 168's, but I usually use 194's, the engine light is a 906, but a 194 will fit. The problem with using a 194 under the hood is it is a smaller bulb and does not have the same light output.

Manufacturer does not change the # of the bulbs, they are a set #. Hence that is why you can buy a 9004 bulb from any mfg and have the same bulb.

The trunk/hatch and the dome light are not the same bulb. The hatch bulb is a long bulb with contacts on each end. The dome light has a push in connection. Not to be rude, but do you have your car with you? Its not that hard to go out and look or pop open a cover to see what bulb is in there. Generally the bulb # is even printed on the bulb. Maybe I just don't see where your coming from on this. Good luck

Try to get yourself a good Service Manual as it should help you through any tough times.
