Christmas Tree Replacement Light Bulbs?

Where can I find replacement bulbs that have a tapered end so they will slide all the way into the socket and fit the string of lights on my Xmas tree? It is a Noble fir purchased from Frontgate.

I'm having the same problem, can't find the tampered replacement bulbs for this type of miniature tree lights. Let me know if you find some!

Heavens to Betsy, I have the same problem! The bulb is longer than a mini-light string, and has a ridge (tapered shape) near the wires. It snaps into a plastic base with a "leg" that, when slid into the plastic base (the part that is wired to the tree), fits into a small hole.

I bought my tree in 2006 at American Sale in Illinois, and most of the bulbs are burned out. I have checked at the store, Ace Hardware (which sells the 3.5v bulbs that kinda fit, but are too powerful), and Menard's. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. A reverse image search on google was fruitless. Here is a snap of the two parts:

I have the same problem. We're late getting started with some of the indoor decorations for guest coming through this week but I noticed I have the a similar socket and the exact same kind of bulbs. I've been looking all over the internet and haven't found anything. Let me know if you find a manufacturer that at least sells the bulbs. I only have a few out and would like to replace them.

As a kind of band-aid we strung lights around the tree to fill in the ones that are out. If I find replacements before you all I will list all of the information and website or company to get them from. If I can't then next year we may in the market for a new pre-lit tree. If that happens I will make sure the bulbs are close to standard and get extras...
