Hi there!  (new here).  I've been looking for that #550 bulb for a week or so too and still need to try NAPA.  It's for a '73 Eldorado convertible map light and I can't believe it's this difficult to find one.

Ueah, Geoff's was for the '73 Caribou. He had a hell of a time finding it.

They don't make them anymore and NAPA won't have one --- I hope you can prove me wrong.  You might try some of the salvage yards that specialize in late '60s, and '70s, GM cars.  GM used them in many if not all of their lines during that time frame but try to find one now!   :No:  I searched the internet for quite some time to no avail.

Just occurred to me. How many of the boards can newbies see Fins? I know the For Sale board is the only one seen by guests.

It depends on the settings Mike. CF processed him, so I didn't look.

I had posted about trying to find a #550 bulb on the Cadillac-Lasalle Club forum and was directed to this forum, which I was unaware of.  Hence my first post being here.

Hmmm, I would have thought someone at the CLC forums would have one.  That was going to be my last resort.  Look for good used, new seems to be out of the question.  I would check some of the vendors on Otto's list over at the Modified Chapter --- http://www.modifiedcadillac.org/forum/index.php --- titled,    
NEW Huge List of Cadillac Parts Vendors

Currently the 5th topic down on the DISCUSSION page.

Good luck.

Actually, I'm still waiting for Denrep to find a box or two of new ones at one of the sales he goes to.   ;D

Could the same bulb be in production under a different part #? :confused2:

Perhaps this site may be of some help.

Well, there you go!  Good find.  But $37 for a bulb about half the length of my little finger --- wow!   :No:

You aren't anywhere near a salvage yard that might have some early 70s GM vehicles?  I have a book which lists salvage yards all over the US. 

I have one or two left but was saving them for our 'fleet' since we have a couple cars of the same era with the map light feature. 
Enjoy life - it has an expiration date.
