What bulb size goes under the hood? Auto Parts stores can't tell me.

Not surprised you couldn't identify it from the vacant light unit, it is, to our eyes, a peculiarly American fitment BUT, yes there is an LED equivalent; I got a couple last time I was over but can't remember where -try usual suspects, AZ, O'R's, etc.

Reminds me, must pull the cover off my latest to see why it doesn't work - but that's a '97 & it looks same as my '99, if that helps.
 
OK, so checked mine today & - no bulb!

Couldn't find the spare (just one of severeal I have) so pulled the one out the '99.

That was out of a Seville after fitting LED; now according to NAPA the underhood light for both vehicles, the Caddy's trunk light & the Cherokee's cargo light all use the same bulb - but the ones in the Caddy ARE different (like a fat festoon, but with a saddle across the end caps). They'll fit - with a struggle, the 561 will be much easier & you won't risk the fuse, if you forget to unplug the light first.
However, I would recommend in your case, pulling the lamp & giving all the metal bits a good clean. Oh, & toothpaste will transform the lense!
