The blower speed **** backlight bulb is out in my '99 Accord EX sedan 4 cyl. Says 14v 80 Milliamps. The stealership wants over $16, I saw three same type of bulb at local autoparts store packages says GE 37, 26, 39 all look the same?? Anyone know a after market source for them?

 

How's NH? I'm a Master Tech at a Dealership on the "other side". I plan on moving there next year.

Can't help you with the bulb. Sorry. I do understand your feelings about the price, though. Our service department can barely make $25 off a Major Service because the parts department jacks the cost of the parts up to ridiculous amounts.

 

you might be able to get em from NAPA or an all import inc,

 

look at the ones that you found and if they're the same size, look at the package and see what the wattage is on each. At 14 volts and 80 mA, the wattage would be 1.12 watts. if you can find one that's 1.0-1.25 watts, it should do fine. don't go over 1.5 watts

about halfway down the webpage, you can enter the bulb numbers > looks like they only show the 37, and it's 1.0 watt, go with that. look below

Or just take the one that's out from your car and take it to the auto parts store and compare

 

you can't just replace a bulb by visual comparison. the wattage needs to be equivalent, so you must compare the specs as well.
