  • Strange indicator bulbs !

    The rear tail light units on my triumph based roadster are the common early "rubbalite" type also used on trailers.. I've had a lot of difficulty finding bulbs for them ,local motor factors couldn't match them .. They have twin pins .. Anyone have any idea where to get them or part number ? I'm after the indicator and also stop/tail...

    Try AES. I have used them a lot and had good service from them.

      I always get mine from Halfords. I use these as I found the lack of reflector in the lamp means the light output is quite low. These give a brighter light than standard.
      We've got car headlight bulbs for every make and model, including H7 headlight bulbs and LED bulbs. Find replacement car lights at Halfords.

          That's what I like to see a bit of ingenuity ! Mind you I have used those to mend exhausts many a time !..

          BTW I got to the bottom of why I couldn't any bulbs to fit .. the original owner had used two stop-tail bulb holders on the right & two indicator bulb holders on the left... the bulbs were a rather tight fit to say the least .. I cant complain too much they've been in there and working sin
