Ho,
My new headlight and indicators are working very nicely, apart from one thing; one of the indicator bulbs was blown when I got it. I'm having a bit of trouble tracking down a replacement; Repco can get one for me, but they cost $19 plus $4 freight. I only paid $20 for the indicators FFS!
I rang Cyclespot as they were closing, and he reckoned he just got a box in of them (he said `for after market flashers, right?'), but he isn't quite sure and he couldn't give me a price.
They seem to be used for aftermarket lights a lot. I'm sure somebody else has had to go through the trouble of trying to replace one of these; where did you get it? How much?
It's a Philips BAY-9 fitting. The base is 9mm diameter, total length of bulb ~3cm and a bit I think. The pins are not 180degrees opposed, but 60degrees.
Alternatively, has anybody `cut down' a normal $3 type bulb to suit? I'm wondering if you shaved off one of the pins so it fit in, would it work?
Cheers.
