Maybe I'm stupid, but what bulb are you talking about?
Radio Schack stocks an assortment of small bulbs. So does Auto Zone. If you cannot find one locally try online parts stores. I am not sure what you guys have down under for local stores to suggest any.

I'd be trying an electronics store and be taking the old one with me as a sample.

Yeah, that'd be my answer too.

I didn't know what you are talking about b/c we don't have front fogs lamps or switches for them for that matter :cry:

Why does Japan hate us so much :(
(maybe that was a bad question)

Thanks to gazza who mentioned that they pulled a bulb from a Subaru vehicle, I went to the dealer today looking for a few.

After digging through their inventory they found the ones that fit my Hazard & Rear Defog / Defrost switch.

Their part number for that bulb is: S 83426AA040 @ $4.05 CDN each.

Hope that helps!
