jerrykiefer Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Tough to find in Dallas, O'Reilly's and Auto Zone don't stock. Where is a good place to check?Have Napa and Pep Boys on the list for tomorrow. Easier to replace than to find one.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handmedownreatta Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 oreillys is where i bought mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wws944 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 You are right - a lot of car parts places don't carry them. I found mine at Pep Boys. Call a few old-school non-chain auto parts stores too. Worst comes to worst, you could get them on amazon. (Maybe Ronnie lists them at his store.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booreatta Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Might want to get in touch with Barney Eaton the last time I heard he had some to sell and at a better price than the parts storesChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kitskaboodle Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 It's been a few years but I distinctly remember getting mine at Napa. However, many of the Napa's are gone in my area. Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machiner 55 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Jerry,Advance Auto may stock them. If you don't mind waiting to have them shipped to you, you could also try The Reatta StoreJohn F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steveskyhawk Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 These bulbs can be purchased at most auto parts stores. I have never had any difficulty finding them or any other part for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Not that hard to find hower they are in three different lengths and only the shorter fit in a turn signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steveskyhawk Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Rule of thumb which I always follow is to bring old part to store for matchup. Can't do this on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well if Osram/Sylvania you should be fine. Know the turn signals need the short ones to miss the shield. Are there other places where it does not matter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sources listed so far are:-O'Reilly's-Autozone-Napa-Pep Boys-Amazon-Barney Eaton-Advance-The Reatta StoreIt appears The Reatta Store is considered a last resort for buying Reatta parts. I don't understand that since The Reatta Store was built to help Reatta owners on this forum easily find the parts they need at the lowest prices. If I post a link to parts in The Reatta Store the forum moderator tells me he gets complaints about me doing so. I use the small commission from The Reatta Store to help maintain Reatta Owners Journal - a website devoted to Reatta Owners. Why someone would resent me posting a link to a store that serves Reatta owners I don't know. If the ultimate goal is to get rid of The Reatta Store the plan is working.light bulbs aren't really a mail order item unless they aren't available at the local stores.

wws944 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 ... It appears The Reatta Store is considered a last resort for buying Reatta parts. I don't understand that since The Reatta Store was built to help Reatta owners on this forum easily find the parts they need at the lowest prices. ...Speaking for myself, when I am in the middle of a project, going to the local FLAPS, which might take 20 minutes, is worth paying a dollar or two extra for a light bulb in order to get the project finished before dinner time. But when anticipating a future need, or when the local FLAPS doesn't carry something - especially at a competitive price, Amazon (e.g., via the Reatta Store) is definitely a great way to go. I've bought a number of things through Amazon. As I mentioned to you in a previous thread, my daughters sorority also fund raises via Amazon. But maybe now that she has graduated there will be less 'internal pressure' to use that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I agree that is is best to buy local when you need a part quickly. Padgett deleted what I wrote in my post so I guess all is good. Thanks to everyone who has bought parts at the Reatta Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fleish Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I believe I purchased a 890 bulb at the NAPA store on Beltline in Addison/Carrolton. Call before you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrykiefer Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thank you gentlemen for all the assistance. Found it at the Pep Boys in Mesquite, they had four in stock under a nice cover of dust.Back in business again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
