There is very few places the dealer and new stuff mini. The problem is that they need the entire bulb holder. The White tails bulbs are soldered on, so that you need to buy the entire set including holder at like $76-91 bucks each. Other option I did when mines went out was I heated and unsoldered the bulbs (careful I broke one and was pita to pull out) and then bought white led type bulbs at parts store, also hard to find.
