Try this link, I've never dealt with them , just saved the link.

Upper right corner for main page or price list.

This is for LED's but I think they also handle incandescent.

NAPA carries them. You won't like the price, but you can get 'em there if you're in a hurry. If they don't have them in stock, the warehouse can get them in a few hours, typically.

HTH,

I bought some 24 volt bulbs from C&J Bus Repair.  They are local and I was there to get something repaired or serviced anyhow.  Prices seemed pretty decent.

Most of my light bulbs are 12 volt,, but I found out the hard way the dash is 24 volt.  I bought a replacement bulb in 12 volt from an auto parts store and installed it.  When the dash lights were turned on smoke started coming out from under the dash!  The dimmer rheostat was burning up due to the 12 volt bulb.  The dash lights quit working so I ordered a new rheostat for $11.  When the new rheostat arrive I dsicovered the old one was working again so now I have a spare rheostat.

I know that atlanta light bulbs carries some 24 volt bulbs.  In fact, I found a bunch for my bus there as well.  They can be found at :

Example, instrument panel lights:

Bulbs direct among others has all the 24V bulbs we need. When you go to thier site you will notice there are 2 prices. The high price is for name brand bulbs, GE etc the lower price is for off brands. If you are the type that must have Nike sneakers go to NAPA and buy the name brands!!! If you are happy with BoBo's you will like Bulbs direct. I have noticed no difference in the life of off brands.
            # 1683 stop lite MCI  Name brand $4.60 off brand $1.03   NAPA probobly $5

I belive they have a $25 minimum order. So get your manual out and make a list of what you might need and want for spares. The last order I sent in was for 20 bulbs.

I replaced just about all of my marker, clearance, brake, dash, and control panel lights when I got my bus.  A few were burned out and I didn't think it would take long for the rest of them to go.  I used www.lamptech.com (http://www.lamptech.com) at 631-567-1800.  I think I spent something around $40 for all of them, but felt better about having them all work.  I swear some looked original.  I kept the working old ones as spares.  They were very helpful and easy to deal with.  Good luck.
