    Thanks (again) Bill - I'm in your debt, sir!

    But - where do I buy the bulbs that you have pictured in your posting? A web site, please.

    I've read a lot about LED replacements - and know I want to do it. But I also read on several (other) forums that some of the bulbs from Autolumination.com burn out too quickly. Maybe the installation (or installer?) but I always remain mildly cynical in such cases, and hate to be burned.

    Amazon.com has lots of LED bulbs, but wading through their list is like herding cats. SuperBrightLED web site is good, but seems a tad limited.

    I always appreciate information -and correction, if needed! (grin)

    I linked that picture from warden_jp2002's eBay store. He sells lots of LEDs designed for auto use. They are not built to the rigorous standards of the evnut, but they are a lot cheaper. And since they aren't regulated like his, they will die sooner, but they also dim, which his do not.

    If you buy from him, be prepared to wait while the lamps are shipped from Japan.

    are you talking about the two screws that sit above the sunglass holder?

    I did the same thing, and cant seem to figure out how to pop it out to get the lost bulb. HELP!
