Where have you checked..

Online or offline in stores.

Just curious because I thought they'd be easy to find.

Say in Target/Walmart or Home Depot.

My Candy Cabs bulb was flickering so I took it out..was going to take it to a store (like above) and match it up.

But since I've working on putting in the US style MV-ELD in the candy I've forgotten about replacing it.
Shoot could the flickering be the starter..(?)

I have this specialty lighting place down the road that I figure I can get the Candies bulb fron if I couldn't find it otherwise.

If this is not found in a common store then I'd figure a store like that would be needed.

Online maybe.

I bought one from Home Depot or Lowes.... same thing, really. I just brought the old one in and found a perfect match. Works great. They're not as hard to find as you may think. The long bulb that has connections on both sides, right? Piece of cake to find and replace!

Thanks bro.. those bastards in Home Depot/Target in my area said, that they don't even make that size and it led me to believe it only existed in Japan.

Thanks for your inputs fellows.

Yep,

I couldn't find bulbs anywhere for my candy cab, so I just bought a small balast & tube set up from walmart and wired it in, pretty easy to do and doesn't cost that much? I think I paid $12 for mine. It turned out pretty good, now if it goes out, I can easily replace the bulb. Something to consider if you can't find a japenese replacement? :smirk:
