85 300D Restoration: Where can I order that tiny lightbulb for the Shift Selector..
 

On my 1985 300D Restoration, where can I order that tiny lightbulb for the Shift Selector. I have tried a number of auto stores and have yet to find that bulb. Usually I just jury rig a 12V bulb with soldered wires to the same circuit and stick it in shift selector lighting fixture. However now that we are doing a restoration....accuracy matters..

How about trying your local Benz dealer - if there is one where you live.

Checkout this thread. It contains info on the bulb I used to replace mine and where to get it.

i wish i had known sooner i had a whole bunch of those small lights.. i used a good amount on my car and i gave the rest to a friend with a 420SEL and 3 w123's.. buy in bulk.. cant rember where i got them though

Good idea
 

Thats a good idea. Of course it will only cost 9.95 ( he he) seriously when i rebuilt my 240D transmission, I ordered a lot of hard to find parts like the synchro's from him

If its like the W126 Autozone has them. When you can't get it the dealer can usualy get stuff like that pretty cheap.

I bought a fog light builb from them and it was only like $3.
