splat1955 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hey guys, Wasn't sure if this was the right area to be posting this, but I know some of you are looking for bulbs occassionally. And some of you guys might already know of this site. I needed an 1158....actually a few. Did a google search and found replacementlightbulbs.com Called them up, seemed like really nice folks...explained more about an 1158 and the meaning of it's different numbers 21-3C.P. BA15d S-8 TS1158....way more than I needed to know. I just new that I got darkness on a corner of my car when the sun goes down. Anyway, they don't have a minimum. Buy as many or as few as needed. Of the 1158, they had like 157 in stock......151 when I was done ordering. They were only $1 each...of course there was shipping. Their cheapest shipping rate is Postal Priority, ....they charge $5.95...I thought that was fair....making each bulb just under $2 and you get 'em in just a few days. And they have a ton of different bulbs in stock. Find the inventory page and it tells you if the bulb you want is in stock, how many and how much $. It was just that easy! Anyway, thought I would share that site with those of you not already aware of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Actually I think someone said they bought theirs at an auto parts store. Several years ago I picked up a whole box (1 doz) 1158's at a swap meet. Since that was probably more than a lifetime supply, I traded some for smaller dash bulbs, etc. with another local guy. Still have about half dozen left. Cost was only about $7 for the box. I've seen the same vendor and he now sells them for about $9 or $10 per box. So, they are around. But........the internet site is a good source for people that don't get out to the swap meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm's Coupe Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Ok, but I doubt you'll ever use that many. He's usually at the meet I go to the end of September, I'll look for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
