Author Message   Milesvdustin Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2008 - 06:32 pm:        Hey my tail light does not light up unless I hit the brakes. Is there a bulb I can cross reference with the stock part and get at napa or autozone? Thanks!   Zenfrogmaster Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2008 - 06:37 pm:        It's a stock automotive bulb, readily available. I don't recall the number (1157?), but if you bring it in you'll be able to match it quickly.   Bandm Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 12:55 am:        Zen's right, 1157 or 1157LL (Long Life) more vibration resistant   Eshardball Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 08:08 am:        Spend the money on the LED replacement and do it once   Langperf Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 01:14 pm:        Actually the stock brake light is a 7528 21 watt bright, 5 watt running...the 1157 is a turn signal bulb I believe and lower wattage and i think the pin configuration is different also Where is the LED conversion available, and will it fit within the OEM light housing?   Oldog Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 04:16 pm:        I would not recomend the led, get a tail light from Xblights here on bwb   Jos51700 Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 06:44 pm:        For some reason, it seems like the drop-in LED's just aren't very good. Now, the LED light assemblies (I got mine from American Sport Bike) throw enough light to cut a man in half...   Sloppy Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 01:45 am:        Go to Wally World and pick up the 1157 bulb - perfect fit. The low wattage side of your 1157 has lost its filament. Happens every few years -- the bulbs are dirt cheap so put an extra set in the tool box and change every other year.   Milesvdustin Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 04:56 am:        Awesome, thanks for the help! I only realized it during a night ride, so that ended things quickly!
