With radioshack out where can I get a simple small bulb like the one pictured? Amazon and ebay sell them in packs while I only need the one.

Here's the link to what I need, it's for my truck's airbag light

ebay or aliexpress or some equally chinese site like fasttech. Aliexpress has been giving me shit lately not wanting to list price from low to high. But Ebay has been giving me equally shit placing "advertisement" high prices in the low to high price list. Sorry bro. order the whole fucking pack. If you`re in the US. there's no thing like a chinese tech. mall, and I`m sure even a chinese tech. mall has limits on quantity beyond just 1 and would much rather you order a shit ton of units for the car company manufacturer you own. So 5 or 10 to cut them a break on not sending you less than 1 US dollars worth is economically reasonable, considering the chinese shipping E-packet. At least you'll have extra in case you need that size specific BS; such as resistor. Throw the excess in a junk drawer. Ive found it comes in handy building your own radioshack for about $10 US.

that would have been too easy. most people who come to /diy/ want everyone to hand feed them everything and give them all the answers without them doing any basic searching.

Pack of what 10 for 3$ or something?
You realise 99% of that cost is shipping it from China right? Buying 1 will cost exactly the same.
Craft/hobby shops sell rice grain bulbs like this for dolls house miniature lighting, it's the same shit 12 filament bulb, have a look there but I'm telling you, you wont save money.
