Is there a reasonable place to buy light bulbs?

The little bulbs that are in the switches, seat heater, fog light, rear demist, etc. are sometimes called "grain of wheat" bulbs. I gave up on fussing about with them burning out, and bought 10 or 15 from my dealer. Not cheap but dang convenient. They reside now in BGVPD.

Also, on some cars - I think - ALL the warning light spots on the instrument cluster have bulbs behind them, whether or not they're used. So,if your car, e.g., has the AW70/1 trans, the green OD indicator is not used, but the bulb is in there. I have swapped some of those without removing the cluster. Wear goggles.

When you cruise a recycle yard, after having found the part that brought you there, find some bulbs, switches, relays, fuses, etc, also. Be sure to make them with the donor car's model/engine/year, etc.

Good Luck,

Bob
