Default What voltage are the LED's for Rearview Mirror Map Lights ?

Guys:

Looking to change out the Amber/Blue LED's in my rear view mirror map lights.

I was at Radio shack and they sell white ones that are the same size as the ones in my car.
They are 5mm Round T-1 3/4. Intensity 7000mcd (I hope that's bright ???).
FW current 25mA; FW supply 3.3 (typical), 3.6V (maximum)

I measured the voltage of the 4x Amber LED's in my car when the lights were on and they read about 1.8V, and the 2x Blue ones read about 2.9V.

Will the Radio Shack ones work as a direct solder in ? I know that you need to make sure that the + and - are set correctly.

Thanks !
Toque
