Good source for miniature incandescent lamps?

Hey all...

I have a set of original post war aluminum presidential series pax cars.

I want to replace the 12v bulbs in them with 18v since I run command only. (180w Powerhouses directly to track via fasttrack lockon).

Is there a good source for these? It looks like I want a #1445 bulb which is 18v, 1.9w.

Many auto parts carry them but so far best I've seen is $6 for a 2 pack. I need 8. $24 no big deal, but would love to buy a bulk lot.

How about 39 cents each?

Actually, you want the 1447, they're a bit more expensive, 69 cents.

Cool, thank you. I hadn't looked at the bulb and thought I needed the bayonet base.

Oh, and ps., no you can't have my extra Powerhouse transformers

Actually the first choice I would pick is a #433 bulb. These are a large dome bayonet based 18volt bulb. Like a # 57 14v bulb, but for 18v.

You can find most of those bulbs at the same site I posted, I just searched on the ones mentioned.
