3.99!! I just paid $4.59, and that was cheapest I found, most expensive was $5.49.

you could try amazon, package of ten is like $6.50 or so, but shipping may be killer-unless you have prime-or you manage to get enough for the free standard shipping

I would look at Ebay...heck you could install led lights cheaper than you can get the bulds at the parts store.

Oreilly's, ask for a BOX of eiko bulbs. If they act dumb, tell them they would be in the back. Part number 168 line code eik ...nothing else in the part number. Just 168. Usually about $8-10 for a box of 10 for retail customers depending on the bulb, though I wouldn't swear I'm right on that price. Most stores carry them, although a few don't.....  Retail website price is 7.99, store price should be that cheap or lower.

Just ordered them from O'Reillys.  MY cost was $5.64 PER box of 10!

That's what they should cost everywhere for everyone!  :)

Thanks for the reminder Werewolf!  I have an account there too!

An account? That could be dangerous. Anyway, good price!! I'll be keeping that in mind. They are almost done building a big new orielys right down the road. Exited...
