Default Vanity mirror bulb inquiry,

What kind of bulbs to replace the front vanity mirror lights in the visors. I searched the forum to no avail & also are there any tips to disassembling the fixtures as so far almost everything I've replaced bulbs in has broken when handled lol.

Grain of rice or grain of wheat size that come in 3 or 12 volt varieties as this application is 12 volt per wiring guide ? I found the JB Weld epoxy glue products to be good quality as they have 2 cure times 4 and 12 hour so you have more working time as the 4 sets up too fast in some applications .

Here are a couple of shots from the owners manual, a spare one I just happen to have in my bureau

Anyway in the post 2000 cars there was an additional booklet that stated the bulbs fitted were not changeable, but I imagine they should be easy to do.

Wiring schematics aren't my concern, it's the frailty of the plastics in these aging gems lol.
