Let me set a few things straight from the inside.... First, mechanic's labor is billed out in TENTHS of an HOUR. Current labor rates run around $100 per hour. Generally the minimum charge is going to be around .3 hours. This covers writing up a repair order, drawing and recording parts from stock, and the paperwork involved in completing and documenting the repair. While this may seem a bit cumbersome, this is the way a service department works. Personally, if it were my business, I would have sent you to get a bulb and put it in as a courtesy. No dealership will ever survive on bulb replacements to stay open. They need jobs with some meat in them. Second, there is NO SUCH THING as a "2 minute job" in a dealership service department. It takes longer than that to go through the system, be assigned to a mechanic, and verified as a properly completed repair. Third, As a DIY kind of guy, I would NEVER pay a mechanic to do a repair that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. So, it would never occur to me to ask a dealer to replace a bulb for me.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
