Default Where can I get a replacement fog light bulb?

I tried Vatozone, Walmart, Pep Boys and no one has it. My Pass side burned out.

Try Murray's at Waukegan and Oakton in Niles (if you're in the area currently). I've bought them there before.

I've seen them at AutoZone, PepBoys, and Walmart plenty of times.

If the ones near you don't have it, try another auto parts store.

Lightbulb

If you go to Wal*Mart, make sure to look over by the cig lighters and accessories. They're no longer by the headlight bulbs...go figure.

Oh, and put some silicon grease on the seals and connections! The bulbs will last 10 times longer, because the grease seals water out and keeps the connections from corroding.

One last pointer...
Don't touch the bulb part. The oil from your skin will create a hot spot on the bulb and will make it burn out prematurely. Either use gloves, or just be careful. Cheers!

Use dielectric grease. Its sometimes labeled "bulb" grease. You can get a tube from the shelf/peg or just a couple small packets at the register at most auto-parts stores.
