Instrument Cluster Illumination - What bulbs?

Post by Harryredchow »

Seems I have a couple of bulbs out in the speedo and rev counter. Does anybody know what type they are? I can find them in the Honda parts, but was thinking of an LED replacement?

Thanks

What bike would this be then?

It's in the VFR section so I will assume NC30/NC35 but just to be safe either edit your profile to include your bike or mention it in the thread.

The VFR uses 1.7w bulbs iirc.

A quick look here under the "lighting" sections reveals a 10mm capless 1.7w bulbs, theres about 9 of them in there in total.

Yes, it's an NC35. I have ordered some LED ones from the bay of fleas.

Thanks!

...and did you get anything that fitted...?

Just asking because those bulbs are T5 (aka W2.1x4.6d or #286), not T10.

There is a mixture of bulbs. 1 or 2 are T10 and the other T5. I found bulbs on eBay. One LED T10 that was a good fit and some standard T5s that also fitted.
