Where can I get cheap plain bulbs for behind the AC?
Both of my AC bulbs are out, and while I don't inheriently mind paying $8 or so a bulb, I can't help but imagine I can find a bulb without the mount and blue cap much cheaper. I have no interest in changing to LEDs. I like the old green look.

Finding cheaper replacements is easy. The problem I ran into was matching the color and intensity. The mis-match is far more annoying than I would've guessed!
Eventually I bought a dirt cheap a/c control panel on Ebay. $15 or something like that. Never need the control panel. I just harvested all the bulbs
Others will chime in.

I found some grain-o-wheat type T 1-3/4 size bulbs that worked in our XJ40 at bulbtown.com. You might search their offerings for options. They're inexpensive enough that you can buy a few different options to test. Here's just one example:
#2174 Miniature Bulb Wire Terminal Base, 12V .04A/T1-3/4 WIRE TERM .1CP, #2174 MINIATURE BULB, #2174, 2174, #2174 MINIATURE, #2174 LAMP, #2174 BULB, #2174 INDICATOR, EIKO#40470
Cheers,
Don
