There is only one type of bulb for the glove box light on the 2021+ MQ4 Sorento as described in the owner’s manual for this light. Page 688 or Section 8 - 6.

2. Pull down on the left side to remove the fixture. You will find a black plastic cover that is removed by pulling up on the cover directly above where the fixture is plugged in.

3. Remove and replace the bulb. Remember, they are omnidirectional so no matter which way you put them in, they work.
   
   
4. Reclip the black plastic cover to the fixture.
   
   
5. Reinstall the fixture into the glovebox.
