Default cubby hole light not working

driving to work this morning I noticed that my cubby hole light isn't working at all, everything else works, dash, radio, dome etc, so I don't know what it is, and the stock cubby lights are LEDs aren't they, so I doubt they burnt out, and if it was a fuse , I would think all of my other interior lights Wouldn't work, someone please help!

I don't think it's an LED actually. I believe it is a normal bulb - though most people replace them with LEDs.

It's a filament bulb, not an LED.... it most likely burnt out.

I'm sure the OP is going to ask, but is there a link to an LED that can replace it? preferably in a different color.

Umm before changing out anything, have you taken that part of your dash off recently? I had the same problem with mine, but after looking at it, I noticed that the bulb had just fallen out of its little spot. I just put it back into its little area and now it works fine.

Mine wasn't in place from factory . I noticed in all my other friend's cars they had it and I felt like I was jipped haha. When I put my short shifter in I saw it dangling behing the console

Ok I figured Out the problem, I pulled up the passenger side carpet and reached back behind the cubby and discovered that the light had somehow been pushed in back behind everything, and was just dangling there, thanks for the help, and noes where we que in where to get an LED for that, does anybody know what size that is, it's smaller than a 194 , but still wedge type.
