You mean the dips? The little 5W bulb?

Here is a pic... just taken for ya

Its a 5W 12V bulb... fits inside a little rubber boot that just gets pushed into the bottom of the cluster.

Are you going to bling this up too? Add a little colour?

HTH!

Ok I'll see what I can do, although there isn't much bling. I got the bulb in a pack of 2 from Halfords years back. I used to use it as th enumber plate light so I didn't want a fragile glass bulb poking through a hole in the tail section so used the LED.

I'd say they have better products available now.

I only did it coz I could, since I run with the lights on all the time I really don't see the point in having the parking light TBH.

Anyhoo, here's a link to one I found earlier

Tremendous thanks Rick, need to find an equivelent LED version. Running LED's in the high beams as my standard lighting and the parking light comes on which is yellow ish so wanted to replace with LED whiter version

This is temp until i split the headlight and do some blinging and HID conversion

Finished off the rear at the weekened, funny thing is as soon as i'd done it i thought of a better way of doing it!!...always the case I guess?

Rick, can you remember roughly what the diammeter of the bulb was? was it smaller than 10mm, wondering if i could get away with using a T10 LED if the holes big enough...would look myself but the bike is now at my parents

Thanks
