Looking through the Sears catalog I found a nice set for $34.95 and went down to the local Store to see if they had it. They did, same set, same Sears part number,price $49.95. Well I guess you have to pay for those lights somehow. My general experience has been that Sears Retail charges from 10 to 30% more than Sears Catalog for any given item. You have to pay Shipping for catalog orders but most of the time you come out ahead ( unless the retail store is having a sale). Never buy anything until you find out what it would cost via the catalog desk. John Eaton !hplabs!hp-pcd!john
