What's wrong with buying 10 and having some spares?

Chris, I've always gotten mine through NAPA. Take in the bad one and they'll match it up. Be forewarned though, they aren't cheap through Napa, I pay around 5 bucks a bulb.

Good luck, Will

Napa usually has them listed as 28 volt bulbs, and sometimes you will have to let the counter guy know that.

I bought 10 bulbs on eBay for less than the price of one at napa! The bulbs are military surplus and are American made and not Chinese junk. Look for both 24 and 28 volt bulbs as most do not really know the proper designation. regards,john

I bought bulbs from these guys twice, and have zero complaints. They have had all the bulbs I needed so far.

I found out the hard way that some bulbs are available in both 12 and 24 volt and I believe the number was even the same. A burning smell came out of the dash light rheostat as soon as I turned on the lights after installing a 12 volt bulb.
