Haaahaa... glad i'm not the only one with bulb problems.
i got the turn signal bulbs (clear ones) at kragen.
i can't seem to get a hold of a set of leds though... the performance shop that i frequent had a fire and is now closed
oh well guess i get the bulbs off ebay
and all i need is one bulb!!!

Hey it was nice meeting all of you. Thanks again Big Al. For those of you looking to upgrade your audio systems etc. I highly recommend checking out Audiomobile - they do some really good work.

Mike
