You can get the refills you need at Advance Auto or even on Amazon. You'll need Trico 47-800 8mm for the driver's side and Trico 47-600 6mm for the passenger side. This is the cheapest and best way to go imo, and this is from many years and MANY different brands and types of blades.


Pretty much what I do. I even keep a spare set on hand.
