Need help with my turn signal

Post by Ray R »

I had a rear turn signal bulb go out on my 2007 R12R today. The problem is I replaced the stock amber lenses with "clear" (white) lenses shortly after buying the bike new to improve the look. And those lenses came with non-oem "chrome" bulbs. They're 18W 12V, and glow amber when lit. No other part number or manufacturer on the bulb.

For the life of me I can't recall where I got the lenses. I thought it was a company called Clear Lens, but I don't find them on the internet anymore. And I can't find a replacement bulb. So I'm wondering if any of you might recognize this bulb and help me find where I can get one.

Any help is appreciated!

I swapped the left and right bulbs just to make sure it was indeed a bulb issue. Now both are working again. Go figure.

I checked my 2009 GSA stock bulbs to see if they were different. They have the 160 degree offset pins. My 2007 has 180 degree pins. Go figure.

A Google search on "chrome auto bulbs" generates a lot of hits. They're out there.
