What should I expect to pay for one? My dealer has a waterproof one for $50.00. Would any auto parts store have one?

I bought 4 off e-bay for $19.00 each. Have one on the Roadking and the other three are on my Classic cars. They work as well as the $50.00 ones..Save some dough and buy beer.

Google is your friend. Moreso when price hunting.

Got mine years ago at near 1/2 cost using that method.
I got the bigger premium version for the price that the local stores sold the tiny version.

Ok thanks guys. Looks like I should be able to get one for $30 or less. I will then go to 7-11 for the beer.
