Hdgunnell Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Can anyone link me a guide to all light sizes for the bike? I need to replace the license plate bulb and want to grab an LED but can't find the size. Plus this could be a guide thread for all the lights for the bike.

Broke mine today but just want a cheap replacement. I ended up just checking around the auto stores (Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts), ended up finding this one . Life time replacement, and only $10. I'm sure if you just check for a regular bulb they'll have it too, and for a little cheaper. But I figured for $10 I have a "lifetime" investment and it looks a little better. I also realized the housing and rubber piece they stick the bulb in is ridiculous and barely lets any light out. Maybe it can be tinkered with.

I actually need to replace the plastic housing that surrounds where the bulb goes in. Is it easy to get that wire out? Does it just run under the seat do you know? Thanks. 2016 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdwillie Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Not sure what you mean about tin foil but I will attach a picture. How did I do this? Wow, what a moron I am. I closed my garage door with the remote from my bedroom and watched the door come down and crush that evil abortion of a fender on this bike. I didn't have it far enough in. I could not believe it. When I raised the garage I tried to pull it back but no such luck. It curled the damn plate like a curly fry, snapped one of the reflective license plate holders, and snapped this as well as you see in the pic. Its ironic I was just saying to my buddy today at work how I want to install a fender eliminator BUT NOT YET!!! I literally got 70 miles on the bike and I do this. So since you can see the ear is broken off in the picture I want to replace this part hence me asking if the wiring is easy to take off. When i put the bulb back in after it was on the ground it decided it too had had enough of my stupidity and killed itself. I picked up a 2 pack of 194 bulbs from advance for $4.45. 2016 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdwillie Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks for the info. Can you recommend the best/easiest fender eliminator? The one that I found on eBay which is plug and play (79.99) is sold out. 2016 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
