The particular bulb Sarge refers to has a special tip that acts similar to a magnifying glass and pinpoints the light directly to the AC controls. I found all of my local parts stores did not carry the bulb with the special tip, so I had to order from Ecklers.(I believe)

Sorry swany not trying to steal your post. I am trying to provide information. I wish I was born smart instead of handsome so I would know how to post pictures and links to the forum. LOL! The 558 bulb was actually made by GE from 1966-2000 specifically for Corvette. The original bulb that looks like a crystal ball on top has been discontinued. Eckler's site shows a picture of the original bulb but the bulb then send you is just a common 558 bulb. At least that is what the sent me and when I called them to question it they said it was a generic picture and not of the actual bulb they send you. I checked with other vendors and they also have just the common bulb. You know the old saying when you point your two thumbs at yourself and say " you know who has two thumbs and original 558 bulbs" THIS GUY" If Somebody can tell me how to post a picture of an original bulb I will if you want to see one. I clicked on the help tab on the site but that didn't help either. Again I was born handsome instead of smart. That generic silhouette for a profile picture has hair. Not me bald has a fart! So Swany I was trying to clarify earlier exactly which bulb it was you needed. I have an original bulb if you are into keeping your car original. Hopefully I made a few people laugh today!!!!

My first time posting pictures sorry if they are messed up.

The 558 bulb from Eckler's has a dimple on top but it is not round on top and doesn't look like you are looking in to a crystal ball.

Ok guys thanks a million and by the way I think I got screwed out of looks and brains. Oh well I do have big feet
