Well every once and a while you can find something you need.

Your have to find it yourself as the zombies behind the counter just know how to look up make model and year.

Tell them it goes on a motorcycle and they'll get glassy eyed and confused.

Auto part stores aint like they used to be ...seems all the old timers are gone replaced with minimum wage workers.

Honestly its just frustrating.

I don't consider Autozone or Pep boys auto parts stores.

Try harborfreightusa.com or one of their local stores.  They have some nice round 10 bulb led lights that are very bright as well as other automotive and trailer lighting.

Sometimes you can find some interesting lights in store that sell accessories to pimp out trucks. If not a direct bolt on, you may be able to find something you can work with.
