JDM Taillights spare bulbs -

[galantebeige]

Guys, I'm heading for the junk yard for other reasons, but as it happens I have a burnt out JDM bulb, the double filament (brake/running light at either end). Any imports that would have this bulb I can fetch while I'm there?
Thanks!
:-)

P.S. bulbs are round "WWII atomic bomb" looking, complete glass, with a flat connection, not something that has a thread to screw, it just snaps-into place.

kind of like this picture, but I pull it out randomly out of the web and specs may no be applicable:

i just got a brand new one from my local car parts store but it was for just the brake lights so it was single filament but you better off just getting new so it wont blow out again on ya ! i know single filament was 7440 bulb number look on the bulb for the number

your best best would be to order them online as i couldn't find them at any local auto parts store.

All Hondas use them as brake lights.. So do Acuras.. They aren't JDM at all.. You can get them at your local Strauss.. They are $8.99 for the 7443 which are dual filament. The single filament version is the 7440. I am the bulb master.

hmm thats wierd .. i went to auto zone they didnt have any but the family owned car store had the one i needed, it was only the single filament one but im sure they would have the double filament also

the single filament is no problem...everybody has them. just can't find the double filament.

That was wild luck, since I just picked any random Google image that came up and looked liked it. I typed something like "dual filament bulb". Thanks guys and bulb master, :-)
