Warning light bulbs

Post by PaulD » Sun Apr 01, 2018 4:00 pm

Anyone any idea where I can get some dash warning light bulbs from?
I’ve found the part number and done an eBay search but they only seem to be available in the states :?

These are common to a lot of bikes. Your local bike (or car) shop should have buckets of them. Take one with just to confirm.

I have used T10 LED replacements in my instrument cluster. Got them off Ebay

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-W5W-T10-5 ... Sw9N1Vuecf

Not this seller but search for T10 LED white

Only one I will replace with an incandescent filament would be the Main Beam indicator as the LED seems to be as bright as main beam! :D

I put the binnacle back together and the oil pressure light now works BUT! there are two thin wires one pink & one red that push onto two terminals directly into the back of the instrument. Unfortunately during the fiddling I’ve managed to pull both wires out and I’m not sure which way they go back? there doesn’t seem to be any markings as to which way they go. I’m a total electrickery numpty and think anything involving electrics are black magic
