If you have a Home Depot near by, check out the outdoor lighting aisle.
Look for the Malibu brand 12-volt bulbs. You'll want the 10-watt pronged bulbs.
I think you get two for $7, IIRC.

i tried one of those 891 bulbs to see if it would work and they are awesome! WAY brighter than the old bulbs. i am going to replace them all with the 891's... thanks for the advice!

Re: bulb question.. please help!
When I can find the right LED's I'm going to switch over to them. Today I put in the Radio Shack bulbs mentioned in a previous post. So at least my grand daughter has the third brake light now.
