You need either 4001 or 4002 bulbs. All the older ones (Phillips, Westinghouse, Sylvania, GE, etc.) have the tips in the back that you need. There are a gazillion of them on ebay. I would try flea markets, Craigslist, etc. you should be able to pick them up in the $10-15 range. In fact, I would try Walmart or your local parts store. They are not yet difficult to find, and we Corvette-with-fiberoptics guys are the only ones really looking for those. Those tips are what they used to evacuate the air from the bulbs and then were sealed at that tip. Good luck!
