Lights next to moonroof switch

Anyone know what part number or name of the lights i should be looking for? These lights are sphere shaped. They're the ones that you press to light up in the front middle. Also, I found it extremely hard to pull these lights out, any suggestions?

Youve gotta push and twist it out... mine is out also. Im not sure of the number, but I brought my old one to Pep Boys looking for a replacement. They had the dome light but not this one. My guess is youd have to go to Nissan or a more complete auto parts store to find a replacement, which I will be doing soon.

I dont remember the aprt number, but it IS in the manual. I went to strauss for a replacement bulb. They looked like the same animal, even had the same type number, but my new one is MUCH dimmer than the original bulb, in fact, its almost worthless. I think the new one is 8 watts and the old one was 10, yes 10. I think i am just gonna break and go to the dealer.

The original one from the factory IS accpetable. Its the ones that you buy in the store that are not as bright. Go figure

I have been looking for this bulb EVERYWHERE for the hyperwhite look.. i got the doors, dome, and everything hyperwhite.. exept this bulb..

So far i have found 4 auto zones that have this bulb... unfortunatly they seem to have 2 packages of the green bulbs ONLY!

Its kinda funny too, cause every store has 2 packages.. and they are always both green...EVERY SINGLE auto zone i go too..

I guess we wil just have to make a write-up for converting this light to LEDs. Anyone done that b4? If you think about it, it would be an AWeSOme upgrade...you can probably direct the LEDs to each side of the car (where people sit) so that the lighting is better...

Good or bad idear?
