My local Autopart International stocks #68 bulbs. Do you have one in your area?

If someone tries to sell you a #90 bulb, it's physically identical but rated at 6 candlepower . Theoretically 50% brighter than a #68 (4 cp). Don't laugh, but I've seen housings and lenses melted or discolored from too bright a bulb over the years.

You could try a #194 bulb, which is 25% dimmer..
