Cabin Light Question

I have a 05 cobalt ss/sc. And my cabin lights are under the rear view mirror due to the fact that I have a sunroof. I was wanting to install some aftermarket white L.E.D.'s and replace my old factory ones. Has anyone changed those bulbs out before?

Because I need to know what type of bulb it is.

any ideas on exactly what size the normal dome light is (for those of us without sunroofs). Is it a festoon, or something like that?

I'd like to do an LED mod for that, too.

I went to some of the 194's with the blue coating on them and I didn't like them. I put in some 2825's in there and things got much brighter.

I picked up a set of blue dyed bulbs not to long ago for my car... at first they where just kind of blue white-ish, now they have faded to more of a blue-green-white. I was highly disappointed. I may get a set of these since they are so cheep and will probably produce more blue light that I seem to have such a craving for.
