Where's the cheapest place to buy replacement brake & rear bulbs?

[Joey Link]

I don't feel like going back to the dealer and paying $4.99 per light for eight bulbs ($40 in bulbs!) to get the 'Brake Lights' and 'Rear Lights' check lights to go out on the check panel. Problem is the dealer is the only place I've ever had any luck finding bulbs that'll make those lights go away. There has to be an alternative source for much cheaper...

No problems with your check panel lights?

Joey, it is NOT the fucking bulb.

It is the shitty, dirty connections either in the tail light housings or in the check panel control box that is near the antenna.

Believe me, it is all a 20 year old BMW can do to tell whether the bulb works or not...the fucking base makes no measurable difference to anything.

If you do need bulbs, check discount import parts on McLaughlin.

I will give you call sometime 'bout the stereo.

Thanks, I'll start with cleaning up the bulb plates and connections ;)
