Schucks usually, just because there's one down the street from my house.
Bulbs don't vary much unless you're looking at high performance headlamp
bulbs, in which case there's a lot of cheap junk out there.

I bought bulbs at two car parts store. They both fit and had the right
voltage, but one did not work and the other one blew out by the time I drove
down the street.
There are two other car parts stores in the area. Maybe I'll give them a
chance.

There are a few "WEIRD" bulbs that I get from the Delaer. These tend to be
the "tiny" grain of wheat bulbs that go in switches and the like... those
are about $5 ea.

Everything else is Pepboys, Kmart, or others...
