IT SHOULD BE, those are not weird bulbs. in fact Is not the only car use those bulbs... I know ( for a chebby friend of mine ) Chebbyes use the 562s on map lights too, outer mirror lights, and sunvisor lights.

158 are used even for some european cars on parking lights function ( inside headlights location ). Your car use also the 158s on all standart cluster, sidemarkers and fender turn signals.

There are two kind of seatbelt light bulbs. The other one is bayonet kind and is directly attached to insert housing with a riveted wire to feed one of the poles by chassis ( mostly used on 71s ), but your is clearly the plastic socket using the 158 bulb

Down here those I told you are available on gas stations, auto stores and some hardware stores... allmost everywhere. When I was on my USA trip to Carlisle there there was poor stock of SOME SPECIFIC BULBS at Kragen and I think Advance autoparts in Bakersfield. Dunno if is a generic poor inventory on those stores or was some specific of those specific stores locations.

If you are worried about good internet price visit www.bulbtown.com. Being that down here amber bulbs are available just painted, and not glass colored and a friend of mine have a 70 and did need the hood tunring signals ( 330 bulb ) what is unexistant down here, they had it on around $1 each. I made a good small stock from them

Some sellers around sell the 330 bulb on $5 each or even more. 158 Bulbs are high power bulbs and they are available here but there are some other what are same bulb but diff filament, lower power, what are hard to find. Bulb is 161 number .They are for some acc functions below the dash frame and keep safe the lense. Thats the reason why I got from them instead buy locally those rare and specific locations. Some bulbs are same socket fitment kind but wrong power, or wrong glass shape. Down here they have been becoming on generic replacements and they works, but I wanted to get the right bulbs on every location to save from melt down lenses( ign key courtesy lights, radio lights, dash frame seatbelt light etc... )


BTW they are RIGHT NOW out of stock of 330 bulbs ( I got the last ones from them ), unless they restock them recently
