hey thirdbird,

i got them at the local auto parts. i took my old one with me and they matched it. i would try a good "old school"
parts house. you know how bad the auto zones and such can be. "well, we can't find -thunderbird formula- on the computer so i don't think we carry that".....

Exactly!!!! Those parts stores are staffed by rivit-faced, tattoo'd, floppy pants, dumphuk punks that wouldn't know a Formula Thunderbird from a Ford Thunderbird.

If all you need is Armor All or spark plugs or cheapo replacement hub caps, Auto Zone is fine. But, I agree, you need a good supply shop with lots of stock run by an adult who's driven a car for more than two years and has actually worked on one or two in his/her day.

There,,,,,,, now that I got that off my chest,,,,,,,, thanks again for the info Liquid:D

Thanks, for all the info, I'm on the road and just got internet service tonight. I guess i'll replace both bulbs, so they look the same.

Hey Liquid Fix, do you like the spots better?

dawiz74,

i have not had a chance to run the boat at night since i installed the spots. i really looking forward to see if they light the tralier up better when loading at night. i might run the boat in the next day or two and i'll check back in and let ya'll know.....

Re: docking light bulbs?
 
I called Formula and they said you could replace the bulb by prying the rubber boot apart. They said you might have to use a razor blade or sharp edge to get it apart. The guy told me the replacement bulb was a GE 4519. I found them through Grainger @ http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/pro...594456&ccitem= . I called O'Reilly's and they said it was a bad number, but they have a 4419 that is only about $13, but the candle power is only 1600? The 4519 is $35.00 and your only getting an average of 25 hours of usage, but at 30,000 cp's. All this is irrelevant until I get the rubber boot apart, which I have tried a couple of times already! I can't figure what part seperates? There is an approx. 1" ring that goes around the boot. Is this where it seperates?
