Hope that the part comes with the lamps!  

Several years ago there was a then-Digester from Scotland who was having 
trouble finding replacement lamps for his 91 USA=spec car (don't recall how 
he came to have this car in Scotland, but he did).  He put out a call for 
help and I answered as by coincidence I was going to Scotland the following 
week.  A set of these babies cost $60 (I think 4 tiny grain-of-wheat style 
lamps), but tucked nicely into the luggage.  In return, we were treated to a 
great dinner at a place called Faraday's in Aberdeen, which was inside a 
converted antique electric generating station.  

If they made a margin on the whole car the same as they made on the lamps 
alone the car would probably sell for about US $2 million.

PS: Try anything you can to remain safe, but twice in ONE LOUSY MONTH with 
her foot on the brake my BW was rear-ended in her 91 Spider, so don't count 
on that third lamp to be very much of a help except in the most abstract, 
statistical way.
