trying to locate some amber bulbs for my 09 SG
the oem bulb says GE 199F and D7
i matched it up to one from the autoparts store. but the metal base diameter is slightly too large and will no fit....

any help would be great...

better yet do you guys know of an LED replacement that you don't have to add any extra hardware....


BTW

no rain in 2 months here and all of a sudden i have a good weekend off and it rains for 4-5 hours both days...and lighting like crazy

 

I would think you could find them at any good auto parts store, but here's a link to a place that has a boatload of lighting products for your bike, including amber light bulbs.

edit: oops went back and saw that you've already tried the auto parts route. My tongue must have been covering my eye teeth.

 

I just installed a set from J&P Cycles. Really like the look and the amount of light they give off. I went with the non fluted ambers @ 17.99 each, a bit pricey, and they look like the 1950's revisisted. People will better see you with the ambers.

 

www.ledlights.com/p36lawenforcement.html you canget these with 3 different beam patterns...................or do a search for "par36 bulbs"

 

The fronts are dual filament = 1157. The rears are single filament 1156.

 

looked at the problem REAL close last night...

the bulbs i bought have the engaging pins at 12 oclock and 7 oclock..

need 12oclock and 6 oclock..

back to the parts store..

thnx
guys

 

That might mean you need dual filament, and got single... or the other way vice versa.

 

Nope, single element amber need the pins at 12 and 6.

 

The Sylvania Longlife 1156 is the equivalent for the GE 199 F bulb that Harley Davidson Motorcycles uses for the back signals. Can be find in Pep Boys.

 

Got mine from j&p. A little expensive but people can see me coming, and they make riding at night a lot better.
