I am looking for replacement bulbs for a generator-powered bicycle light set. Two different bulbs are used: 6V 2.4W (400 mA) for the headlight and 6V 0.6W (100 mA) for the taillight. Both bulbs appear to have E10 bases. So far, I cannot find these bulbs at Radio Shack, Joe's or the few mail-order electronics parts dealers that I have checked. This is really ironic because the whole idea of bicycle generator light sets being 6V/3W was brought about by a German law that aimed to make it easy to find replacement generators and bulbs for these systems! :-( The few listings that I have found at online bicycle parts stores want an arm and a leg for these little bulbs.

Well, you've got two of each so you can spare one set!
