Default Basic Newb Question: Street Bob Taillight Bulb

Checked the bike before my ride to work this morning and one of the rear bulbs was out. First, can I get a replacement bulb at a hardware or autoparts store (or do I have to go to the dealership)? If I can get it myself, do I need a specific type of bulb (taillight is stock on a '13 streetbob)?

If I have to go to HD, what is everyone's thoughts on riding with just one taillight just to get to the HD dealership (20-25 min ride)? Is that an OK risk or should I find a way to get a bulb before I head think about riding?

Thanks!

Your bulbs are all standard auto bulbs. Simplest thing is to remove the faulty one so you can take it in with you and be sure of getting the correct bulb. Your owners manual tells you how to get at it!
