Hello,

I was hoping somebody already had an excel spreadsheet or word doc with a break down of bulbs needed for Taxi.

ie:
Topper - bulb type (44/555/flasher etc) and how many of each.
Backbox/Backglass - bulb type (44/555/flasher etc) and how many of each.
Topside / GI - bulb type (44/555/flasher etc) and how many of each.
Inserts color matched - bulb type (44/555/flasher etc) and how many of each.

It would save me a buttload of time transcribing from the user manual. I could also buy what I needed from wherever I wanted - I like certain stuff from certain multiple vendors.

Thank you all,

Help me obi-wan!

In progress going through my Taxi , but I'll post this here so it can help other noobs like myself:

Topper: #555 x 4 and #906 x 4

Backbox: #555 x 8 (for the traffic light and Williams Pinball Palace sign), #89 x 7, and #44/#47 x 33

Topside/GI: #67 x 2 (under Departure/Arrival ramps, #555 x 9 (for the Spinouts and Pop Bumpers), and everything else topside is a #44/47 (still counting exactly how many)

Inserts: #906, #555, and #44/#47 (still working on the inventory)

I plan on making a cheat sheet that says which size bulb goes where, since the bulb matrix and schematics look like Greek to me. I know Taxi is the first game for plenty of people, who may be trying baby steps (like replacing bulbs and rubber rings) to repair and maintenance.

Did you ever finish this list? I'm planning on replacing all of the bulbs on my Taxi,and this would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance
