Default Light Bulb # ?

Hello. I was wondering what # light bulb I need for the courtesy lights, at the passenger kick panel and the drivers side area. My owners manual only mentions the rear compartment and glove box not the other two. Thanks and take care.
Sorry forgot to say that it's a 69

What year?

Swapping the overhead and kickpanel lights to warm LEDs was one of the single biggest positive changes I've done to my car, for the money.

SuperBrightLEDs.com has the cross-reference list.

More importantly, the old incandescent bulbs give off tons of heat. On my Pontiac the “Third” Brake light had a OEM Halogen Bulb, I guess the engineers didn’t care if the bulb would melt the plastic, especially when the car has a manual tranny. So I buy a replacement light that turns out to be junk. Chevrolet was no better either, my 2001 Camaro has day time running lights Inside the front turn signals. Anyone with half a brain would know that the heat from the bulb that is illuminated all the time, would cause the plastic to melt. Luckily, I changed to LEDs before the plastic was ruined, trying to fine the lens for a 20 year old car is not easy.

Go 2/3 down in the Chassis section list all your bulbs for a 1969.
