Need Help Finding a Halogen Bulb Replacement

Hey everyone, I’m having trouble finding a replacement for the halogen bulb on the left. I ended up with the wrong type on the right. They seemed to be the right size, but the base and plugs don’t match. Any advice would be awesome! The size is about 5cm wide and 4.1 cm tall.

I’m planning to switch to LEDs eventually, but for now, I just need to replace a few bulbs. I’m in Canada. Thanks in advance!

I’ve had good luck with Canadian Tire for hard-to-find bulbs. They might have what you’re looking for or at least be able to point you in the right direction.

Hey, try posting a photo of the bulb on social media or local buy/sell groups. Sometimes someone might have a spare one lying around or can suggest where to get it
