I'm trying to figure out what type they are because the manual doesn't say anything about it. I want to get them in blue to go along with all of the other lights. Also the dome light is the (european) short style, right? Or is it the long?

 

the map lights are really easy to get out and the dome light is fairly easy too
you can pull the map lights out by just pulling down on the right hand side of the light/sunroof control plastic thingy
the dome light just needs a flat head screwdriver on one side of the lens to pop it out, just be careful not to chip it (you will see a little slot where the screwdriver should go if you look closely)
here's a pic that shows how to remove all the lights in your car (it's from my chiltons manual)

i know how to take them out (and have taken them out) the map lights don't say what type (number designation) that they are, so I don't even know what to look for...any ideas?

 

I would just try to take them out and take them in with you to an autoparts store
just try to match it up with something that looks similar and you should be fine

 

sounds good...man i have a lot to do this weekend!!
