Unless things have changed at Icom, these lamps are available
for $2.01 each.  Yes, thats an extra penny.  The Icom lamps seem
to be the best, because I have heard many folks buy cheaper ones
only to have them die early on.  Given the general hassle of what
you have do to get in there and change it, is saving 75 cents
worth it?

Now, somewhere there should be a good source just like Icom,
and that would be good to know of.  But I've never heard of
one...
