Where does one get interior light bulbs?

Another dumb question. Still messing about as time allows with the newly arrived '29. None of the instrument panel lights work and the dome light is dead. I am assuming as harsh as the car rides (I'll be adjusting shocks this weekend and hoping that helps) that the bulbs are broken.

Have a photo album of the car's resto, guy in Minnesota who smokes a pipe (if anyone knows who he is I'd love to know) did a ground-up on the car either 18 or 20 years ago, it was completely apart, cannot imagine they didn't rewire and redo all that, as the cigar lighter even works, but, it's very dark in that car once the sun starts going down! So, where does one go to find instrument panel bulbs and the dome light bulb?

Sorry to be a pest, and thanks very much!

If you know the numbers Napa carries a fair amount of 6v bulbs as well as some of the older type fuses. Some may need to be ordered from a warehouse so additional freight charges may apply and there might be the odd one or two where they are sold by the box of 10 or 12 rather than as an individual bulb or fuse.

Some ebay vendors offer "kits" containing an assortment of the most common bulbs.

YnZhttps://www.ynzyesterdaysparts.com also sells individual bulbs as well as many of the older wiring products. The times I have ordered from them there has been a minimum charge so you may need to order something else with the bulbs to make the minimum.

Restoration Supply is a vendor for a lot of items specific to the very early models and they also carry several of the older bulbs.https://restorationstuff.com

@1929PackardGuy,

I went with LED bulbs for some of the bulbs on my car.

Made purchases from these places

Headlight bulbs. These bulbs made a big improvement in lighting output.

Hey! It's been a while, and I'm curious if you changed the bulbs on the new ones you ordered. If so, do they work? Could you recommend them, or would you prefer anything else? I'm intrigued to hear your thoughts because I have the same problem and don't know what to do about it. A light bulb also cracked at home, but I found a solution by purchasing ithttps://www.vont.com/product/vont-bulb-color-smart-light-bulbs-smart-bulbs/, but it's a little more difficult in the car. So, please let me know! Thank you so much in advance!

Yes, I replaced all my interior bulbs with these last year off Amazon - they were cheaper then! They work fantastic and you can actually see the gauges at night quite well now and the dome light is amazing! Good luck!
