I also recently switch out my interior lights too! Pretty much all the blubs are 168 or T10. Check out ebay too, some decent price for some 4-6 led wedge bulbs. Don't forget the lic plate lights too!

I think you need to take out the bulb and figure it out. If it is a small wedge base, there are a lot of different styles. For example, I would think the license plate wedge may not be ideal for another application. Remember the T-10 wedge bulbs are omni directional and LEDs are not, nor are they as bright in most cases. You may need an LED that has a 90 degree accommodation like this one for the most interior light.

So far, I have found the best license plate LEDs are the bright 1 watt jobs with 60 lumen/24000 mcd output, and even then, they are not that bright, and somewhat too directional with only a 120 degree spread.

Please let us know the outcome of your research, what works best for the various bulbs in the car...so far, I have found that except for the color, the incandescent bulbs are pretty darn cheap, brighter than LED, better light spread, and long lasting. Festoon and wedge bulbs in my 95 Legend are original and still going strong, if yellow in color.
