I'm trying to find replacement bulbs for my steps and everywhere I look they are out of stock. Anyone know of a place they're available and in stock. This is what I'm looking for: https://www.amazon.com/ITC-395-B-Lig.../dp/B00OA84LPS

I'd love to replace with LED bulbs but not finding them either.

When I redid my flooring last year and did the step well I upgraded the light to the new LED. The lights looked the same (except I opted for black). They are much brighter. To change you just remove the whole light and put in the new units.

I'll look at those and if size and screw holes line up it's an option. I like the idea of a brighter lite in the step well. If bulb goes out do you replace the whole unit?

Ken-

People call that a "festoon" bulb. I suspect that using that term in an Internet search will turn something (inexpensive) up.

Used Festoon but size I needed they no longer carry.

Those are 1.26" /32 mm Look for 30,31&32 mm festoon bulb.

This is the bulb I used to replace my step lights - I couldn't be more pleased!

Seen the festoon lamps at NAPA. Old VW Beetles used them for interior lights. I’d switch over to the LED lamps. Cooler, easier to instal and stay in place.

I replaced mine with chrome license plate lights. Works fine, plenty bright. Most any auto stores carry them.
