Hi all,
Following on from my previous posts about bulbs for clocks.
I need a couple of BA9s bulb holders, preferably with wires already attached (my soldering skills leave a lot to be desired) but the rubber holders/plugs i already have (yamaha kindly supply a couple of blanks) .

I've searched all over my house & sheds & have none spare, plenty of the other type (w5w?) & was gonna use a couple of those but realised the leds I have that fit those are wrong colour.

So it's either buy another couple of leds (I've got loads) in correct colour, & splice in the wires & holders I have or just buy the correct bulb holders.
I've gone for that, as my OCD says they all should be same.

Problem is, went on ebay & was shocked at prices of them!
I know I'm getting old & nothing costs a sixpence any more but still theres not a lot to them.
there must be cheaper places?
Anyone any suggestions for on line retailers selling this sort of thing?
I only need a couple.

cheers,
GAZ

Any use?

Not used them, just random googling.

Hi all,
Ordered 15 for a tenner off Amazon & will arrive tomorrow, Tue.
Cheaper than buying 2 or 3 elsewhere & paying postage then waiting days on snail mail.

cheers,
GAZ

Hi,
Yes, those where what I was looking for & cheap too but time I bought 2 or 3 then postage, hardly seemed worth it.
15 for a tenner next day with Amazon prime Very Happy

cheer,
GAZ
PS : is that quite common for all clock bulbs to be ba9s?
EVERY other speedo I've looked at had those push in wedge type bulbs.
1st time I've seen ALL bulbs.
