[s-cars] source for CHMSL bulbs

[Tom Green]

Lee,

Search the online suppliers for part # N 903 605 01.  My experience is  
the bulb is the same for all applications.  The Sylvania 70 bulb has  
the correct watt rating for brightness and response time for the CHMSL  
bulb and of course the correct base.  New vehicles use LEDs to  
decrease the response time so you could probably find a replacement in  
a conversion kit.  Search by part # here for confirmation:

<http://www.audipartssuperstore.com/catalog/>

Then, when you feel comfortable with this part # , you can look  
wherever you want for the bulbs at a cheaper price.  Sylvania does  
package the bulbs in a 10 pack also
for those who just change them all at once. They should be available  
at any flaps.
