Jim, You took my job.

Is it safe to accept light bulb information from someone without any stars ???

Can you repost the info on changing the bulb. I have one burnt out and can use the help. Also, is it supposed to be hard to turn to the left? Or does it turn right?

Are the instructions different for single and double filament bulbs ?

I bought my lightbulb at Year One, as many of you suggested.

Turns out this bulb is NOT original, says "Made in China" on it, and doesn't fit my '68! Thanks alot folks! It may be okay for a daily driver but certainly not Show Quality.

I'll buy my next lightbulb from Classic. :p

Don't buy from Classic-
I asked for a 68 Firebird lightbulb for $4.98, but they were out of stock, so they sold me a lightbulb for an SS Camaro for $129.98
