Are the rear turn signal bulbs for the bullet style housings #1156? I need to get some red ones for my clear lenses?

 

Yep

 

Get chrome coated or the sylvania silverstar, coated amber bulbs for them clears, you will wish you did!
No more yellow glow!

Thanks!

 

You want amber anyway - turn signals are supposed ta be amber, NOT red.

 

Rear turn signals can be amber or red. If you plan to go with a run/turn/brake controller you want red. You could also look into LEDs. I am very happy with my LED set up.

 

Local HWP came to one of our HOG meetings to discuss MC Safety and highway driving and actually said that red signals (rear) actually gained more attention in traffic situations. He based this on his teachings and training experiences with cagers training and their feed back. Said that most cager drivers do notice the bikes and turn signal indications with the amber lights but are more inclined pay attention to the "Red Flasher" due to their "standing out" like a stop signal.

Now that's a matter of opnion I'm sure..... but a flashing red light does seem to get more attention! Guess the reason years back when signals went from red to amber was to make a significant viewing difference between a stop light to a signal light. Thus someone following behind you would be able to distinguish that you were planning to make a turn or lane change and not just pumping your brake!!

I myself would like the biggest, brightest rear signals I can get and if red is more attention getting ....(according to the HWP) then red is for me..

 

Creepshow, I just bought those bulbs today they look much better than the amber colored ones. 11 dollars and some change for two at auto zone. The front takes adifferant type of bulb than the back.

 

Went with the kury red bulbs.

 

What are the bulb numbers for the front and the back? I am out of town and would like to order them.
