Default Courtesy light

Hello from Australia, i need some help trying to find out the correct size of the globe/bulb that is in the courtesy light in my 79 corvette? I have searched the aim and it is only mentioned in 2 places, 12L sheet 8 and 12H sheet 15, but never mentions the correct bulb size/length or power size? looking at pics of the bulb, here in Australia they are called Festoon style bulbs. I am also looking for a wiring diagram for the courtesy lamp, as when i unscrewed the fitting, i saw that the 2 wires were not connected to anything (another Bubba job)so any help would be appreciated.
Hear from you soon.

Grumpy, why not come along to the Vic Vettes meeting in Moorabbin on Monday night, April 24? We're the Corvette subgroup of the Chevrolet Car Club of Victoria Inc. and the members there would like to welcome you and the car to our monthly meeting. No pressure to join, we just love talking about Vettes.

Regards from Down Under.
