What kind of light bulb does a '98 Cherokee cargo lamp take?

My Chilton's guide says it takes a bulb that doesn't even fit in the clamps. My searches haven't turned up much. I'm talking about the clicklamp in the cargo area.

Any help would be great!

You are looking for the cargo lamp bulb. It's a 561. http://www.bulbs.com/eSpec.aspx?ID=13516

Just buy those glass fuse looking ones from autozone. They're pretty common bulbs.

My front dome light takes a 561 but my cargo light is different. It seems like it would take something like a 212-2 but that's what I have tried and it doesn't work. Hmmm....
