Default where to buy light bulbs

To replace headlight bulbs, is it something that Autozone would have on the shelf? How about spark plugs?

You can also get those same bulbs from any of the Model A suppliers as well.

Your right, the bulbs sold now do not have the pointed filament that the reflectors need to focus properly.
