    Anyone have or is willing to part with or know where I can find these bulbs . Digikey has gone crazy with the shipping and want $35 US shipping for a couple of tiny bulbs ..

    Canadalite carries the #49 but the #81 is unavailable. https://canadalite.com/Miniature-Bulbs,Automotive-Bulbs-Sign-bulbs/Miniature-Lamps-Numberic/Miniature-Lamps-1-100/49-Miniature-Indicator-lamp-T3.25-Bulbs-BA9s-Base

    I don’t know where you live but my latest order from Digi-Key was last week and cost me $8.00 CDN for an order less than $100. According to their site info, delivery is still free for orders over $100.

    You can find them on Amazon.ca, with free shipping if you use prime account, not sure what shipping would cost without the prime account but you can check.

    You are correct Jim the shipping is still $8 .What was throwing me was they no longer have the #81 bulbs but do show some listed MARKETPLACE and if you click on them the quote the $35 shipping . les I was able to order the #81 from Amazon and the #49 from Digikey . thanks guys .. If anyone need a bulb I’ll have 10 of each LOL …$47 total for 10 of each but what can you do ..

    Hi all
    I too am looking for a few #49 bulbs (or #48 screw base). If anyone in Victoria has some to spare, please let me know. I live in Broadmead area north of Victoria.
    Many thanks, Scott
