Interior LED Replacement

From a few videos, and some Amazon searching, it looks like these are the following replacement parts for interior and license plate LEDs - if someone could validate, it would be appreciated:

License plate: 2 x festoon 36mm
Frunk & Trunk: 2 x 41mm festoon
Lower doors and map light: 3 x T10
Glovebox: 1 x festoon 31mm (some say 36mm, some say 29mm - would love if someone knows for sure)

I was looking just buying the Sylvanias off Amazon, unless anyone has other ideas.

That sounds about right. When I first got my car I entertained the Sylvanias... deciding for a handful of bulbs I wasn't going to break the bank. Some cheapos from Auto Zone, and they've held up for years. I didn't, and wouldn't, spend more than $10-$20 on the bulbs, if that.

It's just bright light.

As info, the glovebox bulb is 29mm, but I was able to make 31mm work.
