check what variety is available at the local flaps.  be careful though.
  that bulb (valve) comes in three different wattages.  two are normaly
available in the flaps (approx 7w and 11w.  the bulb that is not
normally found in the flaps is found at some lamp stores and is too
high of a wattage for the plastic parts of your normal vehicle uses.
they melt the lenses and bases of the lamps.  not  that anybody in this
group would do it but i wish i had pictures
a local guy paid 250 bucks for a fancy set of headlamps and then put in
the super high powered fake HID bulbs.  the lenses were 250 bucks of
melted plastic the next morning.
