Author Message   984gasm Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 09:42 am:        Has anyone had the same issue with finding a replacement bulb for the clear lens turn signals? I went everywhere possible (except a buell dealership because it's not exactly close by) but cannot find any match. For some reason it has an off-set prong set up. This is very frustrating...   Nadz Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 11:59 pm:        Regular 1156's work, if you file off one of the tabs. Takes 1 minute. Or get LED's: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/Turn-Signal-LED /Amber-LED/2-AMBER-MSMT-27-LED-TURN-p4748463-1-2.h tml   Andymnelson Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 05:44 pm:        I know they give some odd number like RY10W, but isn't it just a 5008 bulb? Should be available at any auto parts store.   984gasm Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 09:55 pm:        Yeah, I tried 4 different auto parts places, a walmart, and two motorcycle shops. No one has seen a bulb like that I figured filing off one of the tabs would make it loose in the socket, that wasn't an issue for you?   Andymnelson Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 11:17 pm:        have you tried a 5008 bulb tho? That's what I use in my Uly...and it should be the same bulb.   Nadz Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - 01:42 pm:        "loose in socket?" Nah, one pin is sufficient to retain the bulb against the spring pressure from the bottom contact. If it's wobbly, bend the side contact inward a little.   Andymnelson Posted on Friday, July 09, 2010 - 10:46 am:        Does your bulb look like this?   984gasm Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 12:42 pm:        Exactly like that.   984gasm Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 12:43 pm:        Totally straight, clear bulb. No flare which is why it's tricky to find (plus the off-set tabs). I don't want to put an orange bulb when all of the other bulbs are clear. Call me picky...   Andymnelson Posted on Sunday, July 11, 2010 - 12:07 am:        that's a 5008 bulb, available at any Auto Zone/O Reillys/Napa/Wally World around here... if you truly can't get them near you, shoot me a PM and I'll send you a couple of spares!   Andymnelson Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - 12:16 am:        Did you get it sorted?   984gasm Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2010 - 11:21 am:        I haven't had a chance to go and re-look. I hope to this weekend. I live in NYC, not too many autozones around... Thanks for checking in though. Much appreciated.   Andymnelson Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2010 - 12:16 pm:        Ah yes. Say what you will about suburbia, but I have 5 auto parts stores, 2 wal-marts and a Target within 5 minutes of me
