Signal bulbs

skipsaxe · 05-10-2008

Went for a ride today and noticed that my right signal light was flashing very quickly. Both the rear and front bulbs light so I want to try and replace the bulbs on the right side, maybe that's the issue. However I can't find a replacement number anywhere in the manual.

Does anyone know what the part number number is for those bulbs? Thanks in advance.

The front one is an 1157 and the back is an 1156.

LT,

Thanks for the info.

for future reference, the numbers are printed on the metal housing of the bulbs themselves.

From my experience, not all bulbs have their numbers (at least numbers you can easily use to buy replacements in the USA) printed on or stamped into them.

Case in point, the 1157s that came on my new 900 LT only have the wattages (P21/5W), the voltage, and two numbers -- 6P 13 and 37R(E6)214 -- which with my lack of knowledge, don't tell me to buy 1157s.
