i did the same thing but went to autozone and got two bulbs for $2.00. it lasted for about 4 months... then tried the other bulb.. i could not bend the wires on the bulb and get it to stay in place.... i then tried to solder the wires to the bulb like the original setup, but discovered that the metal inside the light cover was aluminum, not steel so i could not solder it....seems that when the setup is made its welded onto the alum. metal.. i cold not duplicate that and just broke down and got the $5.00 bulb.. probably the last one i will ever have to get....
