Perhaps what you have said has some ring to it. But just because someone does not take your recommendation does not mean that you should be offended or in any way upset that they went in another direction.

I am not looking for a web based source, that is why I stated in my OP that I am looking for an "auto parts store" that sells the bulb. Now maybe semantics have come into play but when I say parts store I mean brick and mortar - not a web site.

But again as I said earlier, thank you for the suggestions.
