Well, I drove all over Santa Fe (had to charge the battery, so why not) and eventually found them at 2 different places. Good news is I only spend about $11, bad news is I only got 10 white and it looks like I might need 13(?)
I'll try to snag some spares in the near future :) found a seller on ebay for 9.99 + $1.50 shipping (and I think 30 total fuses) but I didnt want to wait.

Also, I found this:

And will see if I can't make my own on some cardstock but meanwhile...my theory is Fuse 15 is my gremlin since first the rear dome wouldn't go out, now the rear doorlight, and my antenna doesn't seem to work. So I hope it's just the fuse.
