Been a while since I was in there, but I want to say they're the same in the gauges as in the idiot lights. It's been years, though...and my manuals are out in the garage. One thing I did was pull the little orange/yellow rubber boots ("bulb condoms") off all my gauge lights. I got tired of looking at yellowish gauges; now they seem clearer to me and are a bit brighter as well |

The idiot lights are TINY. They are also nearly impossible to replace. My "N" burnt out first and I tried and failed to find a replacement tiny bulb. I was about to rig up an LED but then my hibeam burnt out. Found the whole shebang with bulbs was $60. plug'n play! swapped it in the H-D parking lot I kept the old one so that I can do the LED project when the new one burns out. Now the idiot lights on the gauges are a different story. The low-fuel light has to be a specific value in order for the fancy detector to work. Remember that just because a bulb fits, doesn't mean that it the right wattage. I installed some bulbs that looked right from an autozone but they were too bright at night. They were half the price of the H-D ones though. (The right ones were like $1.30) |

Pretty sure the idiot lights are a #70 (T15 wedge base). (Message edited by Buell_Bert on June 06, 2010) |
