Hunt The Bulb

[javadude]

While away at the weekend I got the warning light that a rear/stop bulb had blown. Naturally I stopped at the first petrol station to buy a new bulb so that I could drive safely with all my lights working. Guess what - they had groceries, coffee bar, bakery, birthday cards, cds, flowers etc etc but only about 3 different types of bulb. So I tried another four petrol stations and found exactly the same.

Oi Mr petrol company executive - you've completely missed the point - I go to a petrol station for essentials for my car not for a capuccino!

So tried Halfords, two different ones had plenty of bulbs but both were out of stock of the 21/5W Wedge bulbs.

I've only ever seen these bulbs from either a Lexus or Toyota dealer

I got mine from an auto-electrician

Box says "Guardian auto bulbs - type 380C"

I managed to get them last night from Halfords in Reading (ie the third branch I tried). While there I got spares for most of the bulbs on the car to save all this hassle next time!
