Yes. Unless you mean the LEDs, then I don't know.
I installed the Eiko 1891 bulbs. The packaging says "heavy duty", so hopefully they'll hold up for a while.

Did the 1891 ulbs work ok for you? I have a 81 csr 1000 and I just bought 1889 bulbs. They are supposed to be a little brighter. Just wanted to see how the 1891 brightness was as compared to the originals.
Thanks

Yes. If you've never replaced the meter bulbs, the sockets can be a bear to remove because of the old rubber. LEDs nowadays are probably a better option as you'll probably never have to replace them..
