Cannot tell where you are located, but here we buy them at the swapmeet for $20.00
Small, chrome new from china. Or used old ones for $5. or $10.
Get a 7 wire, easiest to install. Check Amazon dot com.
Good luck
Bruce

If you currently have a signal switch there's no need to upgrade. The current switch will work with 6 or 12 volts.

If you are considering LED bulbs, there are signal units that can handle the low current without resistors. Otherwise, Signal Stats are common and reliable. As indicated, a 7 wire allows you to go dual filament on the bulbs.
