Where to find clock bulbs

[cwiebe]

I need to replace the clock bulbs for my 2003 i35. Other than the dealer, which is obscenely overpriced, does anyone have a source for clock bulbs?

TIA.

Hi.I'm not sure the same as 96' I30 but I replaced bulbs in which they are behind the A/C control panel. If it has the same structure, you should take the wood trim out first from the gear shift. It isn't difficult. You can also find the bulb at Radioshock or the Internet. I will give some information to you about bulbs and how to remove the wood trim.

Thanks for the quick reply Ryan.The bulbs for the clock have a plastic quarter turn base on them, are you saying the bulb itself can be removed from this base and replaced?

I was able to remove the heater/ac vents easily and then remove the dash piece that holds the clock, so that was easy, but I did use some tips from your link so thanks!
