Anyone know where I can purchase 12v bulb holders from?<br />Got a project I would like to try using 12v 21w car bulbs but can't find anywhere that sells bulb holders to fit them. The bulbs are the type used for indicator bulbs on british cars.

Check electronic equipment suppliers or electronic surplus outlets. Stores like Radio Shack catering to hobbyists also have "do-it-yourself" electronic stuff.

If you are intent on using auto bulbs, visit a salvage yard and get what you need. Just because auto bulbs are 12V doesn't mean there are no other 12v alternatives. Did you Google "12V lamps and sockets"?

Don't know what kind of bulbs or bulb-holders are used on British cars (can't afford them Rolls and Jag-you-R's ;) ) but see if these are what you're looking for. There are other sockets at that website in case the one shown isn't the exact one you want. Cheerio (ain't that a breakfast cereal?) :)
