cargo lamp bulb ?

I am hoping one of our many experts here on the board can tell me what bulb the cargo lamp takes . Mine was not working so I took it apart and it worked off and on while I was checking it . Seems as if someone before me put a 1157 bulb in there but sanded the nubs down to make it fit . Seems like it should be a single element bulb . I searched but found nothing .
thanks in advance

Far from beign an expert but I am almost certain it uses an 1156, same as the backup lights.

no, its definately not an 1156. It has two elements like an 1157, but the pins aren't offset, they are even with each other. You can get by with grinding one of the pins off an 1157, but I wouldn't recommend it. I've done the research for my LED cargo lights and i know what's what as far as bulbs for these trucks. Definately not 1156 or 1157. I'm looking at one of the proper bulbs, but it doesn't have a number stamped into it.
