Lightbulb 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.

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.
