What Landpimp meant to say is that you can get OEM bulbs from the dealer or you can go to just about any auto parts store, tell them the year of your truck, and they'll set you up. The big stores even have the parts catalog right there in the lightbulb aisle--just look up your truck, get the bulb number, and take it to the register. Once you're at the register, you have to take cash out of your wallet and pay the lady, unless you want to use a credit card, which is a little plastic card that has numbers on it. . . .
everybody is either feeling very dumb with the threads latley or everybody's wives are holding out for some reason makeing all of us a little bitter. I don't know which.
Maybe folks have been breathing too many CO fumes while working on their rigs?
I almost did anwser(as thats my natural reaction)..........but really if you don't know where to find a light bulb..........is a cruiser gonna be the right rig? I think better to stick to a skateboard or something.

The bulbs will also be marked with their part number on the metal portion at the bottom of the bulb. You can just go to the autoparts store and find the corresponding model number(s) for the replacement(s). They're all pretty much standard and cheap...it's people who have 24v systems like myself that have to really find good sources of 24v bulbs. Cheers.
The driving light replacement bulb should also be pretty standard.

does it matter if the bulbs are stock or not or ome i found bulbs at wal mart for a buck
The tub I am working on is a "factory soft top" tub and it has two little dash lights on switches behind some black metal covers, however they are missing. Anyone have the part number on these guys?
I'll try and snap a pic tonight, basically one is near the fan controls, the other to the right side of the glove box. In the SOR catalog they are listed as "factory soft top" only dash lights, they aim towards the floor and they have a black rounded shield to keep them dry. You pull a little switch next to the fan control and the "used" to trun on.
brake light???? oh boy proceed slowely
take the burnt bulb out ( to do this you will prolly need a phillips head screw driver to remove the brake/turn signal lens cover) then gently push in the burnt bulb while turning it. then pop the bulb out. carry the burnt bulb to any harddware store/auto parts store/auto dealer etc. The bulbs are common and inexpensive. good luck. perhaps buy a spare for the future or to increase the resale value (see below)
Some times when major components like this fail its a good time to start thinking about selling the truck. I would be happy to assist in any way I can. Cheers and cruise on!
