The 10 pack he sells are screw-in bulbs.
Not sure what you mean by "screw-in." The original bulbs have to be twisted or screwed in to seat in the slots. The pack I have purchased appears to be correct. I'll let you know if there is a problem after I receive them from China & I'm willing to "eat" $8.69 on the risk they won't work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221632549596?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

My mistake, Solid Axle Guy.

When I searched ebay I saw this:

No biggie Sparty. Love your screen name. I am one of the regulars on Turf Show Times Rams blogs & one of my friends there is called Sparty. I'll be sure to let you know if the bulbs I get are OK. :fingerscrossed:

I agree, if you keep stepping up the fuse size the smoke will lead you to the short

I saw those before I got mine...I didn't like the fact that there was not a LED in the end for a true 360 degree coverage. But these should work just fine.
