If you go here and put in Mitsubishi Raider and your year they'll list all the bulbs for different applications in your truck: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm

How dare they dont have the Mitsubishi Raider.
but they do have the dodge dakota, i looked it up and it shows bulb 168, and 578 map light.

I looked on Google for the 168 and its the licence plate slide in bulb



and 578 is the right one because ive seen it, but i dont know the size

You just gotta pull in the right spot, it comes out a little harder than you might expect but it's not too bad.
