Anyone confirm bulb sizes?

[chandlerbingfl]

Ok, I have a couple of bulbs that have blown and since the inside is black I can't see any numbers. I think the turn indicator is a 158 or 168 but I went ahead and purchased a 194 (which I saw mentioned in a thread here) but it looks like the turn signal itself turns when activated, so back to the store for a 158. Would that be normal?

Bulb #2 is the speedo bulb which I tried to match up and tried a Sylvania 74 but it felt loose in the socket so does any one know the correct bulb?


Thanks in advance,

have you checked the automotive and motorsports section at the Sylvania website? From past experience, they have always had my vehicle listed with a complete bulb list associated with it...

I just did and couldn't find anything... I even searched the entire sight for a 168LL (which is right on the package) and found noting...

The search continues,

Sorry for posting another request for this info.... My bulbs are burnt black making it nearly impossible to read anything regarding bulb information.... I have not found anything with the correct volts/wattage (as per the manual 1.7 and 3.4) and what I have found does not work, they fit but the specs are different....and ultimately do not function properly...

If anybody has this information it would be greatly appreciated....in my original post I've already had problems.... Could my bike be that fickle?!?!?!?!?!

Thanks in advance,

I don't have my G.Z. any more.But when my bulbs burnt out I installed brighter ones.IIRC they were also a little bigger (just fit through the hole in the speedo but made a hugh difference at night.Never had any problems.Shouldn't be any problems as long as they are 12V.I picked mine up at auto store.I just matched up the base & went with a brighter bulb.

:cool:

I have an older bulb post... let me see if I can dig it up.

I appreciate any help on this! The packages I have for a #74 and #194LL both show 14v, 1.4w and 14v, 4.6w respectively.....

The voltage makes no sense and the wattage is different that what is stated in the manual....

And the search, again, continues!

Thanks!

Don't worry about the voltage. If they fit use them. 4.6 watts will be brighter in the sunshine.

That I understand but if you read my op you'll see that when I use the turn indicator (194LL) the turn signal itself turns on then will quit blinking after the first blink...The #74 I bought for the speedo light just plain does not fit. It is to loose in the socket and either flickers or does not make contact and light up at all...

Starting to get real frustrated but thanks for all the input so far...

Hmm, please humor me a little but I have a couple questions.
Did all of the signal lights flash properly before the turn indicator burned out?
Did you check for proper bulb size in the signals themselves?
Do the front signal lights act as running lights and signal lights? They are a 2 element bulb.
Do the signal lights themselves flash without or without the turn indicator bulb installed?
Just wanting to know if it is only the turn indicator that is hooped.
