I'm in SF too and missed the SC one (work sucks), so if you want to go through with a local one I'm game.

For local bakers, Racing Lab in Hayward (on Industrial) has a ton of bulbs. They were the only local place that had the amber turn signals (7440) in stock, and they were only $8/each. I just cleared mine and am really happy with the results, so I can offer a helping hand for any locals. Only thing is I dont have an oven .

There's several write-ups on iwsti.com that were very helpful, or just pm any of us that has done a few of these.

And if your mom gives you that look, just tell her that all the cool kids are doing it, and that your to old to understand these things
