i looked for either t51's or 12 volt 3.4 watt bulbs for about an hour today on the net and didnt find a one...any ideas???

Don't know for sure what your bike uses but I got mine at Auto Zone....
EiKO(brand name) 53, their listed as 12volt instrument auto bulbs.

I plan to switch to LEDs as soon as I run out of my little stash of incandescent bulbs...

I got some at Kragen. About 2.50 a pair....pretty expensive.

fixer5000:

I assume you are talking about those little glass bulbs with the pinched glass base? The ones that just push into a socket? If so, pull one, take it to any autoparts retail chain store, get the number off it, and there is a new replacement bulb manufactured that will supercede it (those #'s will be listed on the package). I just picked up a set of 10 bulbs (my instrument pod take 9 bulbs) at O-Reilly's.

are the 53's bright enough? theyre only 2 watts

I've put 53's in my instrument cluster next to original stock bulbs. I find them to be bright enough. I'm not sure if I need super bright instrument lighting ever. At 60 cents a pop, you can always swap them out for something else later.

well i got three different bulbs to experiment with. ill let you all know how they work in the spring...thanks for the help and info...steve
