Pop Up Headlight Switch

I have a 93 R1 and the light bulb for the pop up headlight switch is not working. Where can I get a replacement bulb from?

Thanks

Pull the bulb and go to your local auto shop to match one up. It's just a bulb.

Thanks for the info Mahjik but its not a bulb that you can just pick up from any auto shop....for example a "194 domelight bulb". This light has a plastic base built into it (twist to remove and install). The overheat exhaust light and the security lights can be replaced with a radio shack 12v 60ma wire base terminal bulb. But the pop up headlight switch has the same design but different bulb. So if anyone could tell me where to purchase this bulb I would greatly appreciate it.

Some napa's carry a huge selection of oddball bulbs. They might have 2" of dust on the package but they might have it. I had the same problem with my 88 montero and finally ended up using something that was close.

As already mentioned, NAPA usually carries a bunch of stuff like that. Most other local auto stores suck (O'Rielly's, PepBoys, AutoZone, etc). If you have a NAPA in your area, try there. If not, just take the bulb to the dealer. They can probably match one from another Mazda vehicle that will work.
