y2krider Posted April 22, 2015 #1 Posted April 22, 2015 I noticed the marker light was out on my MM (with OEM driving light bar) and thought no problem, easy replacement....NOT. When I removed the lens about 2 tsp of water came out. The bulb was corroded so bad it fused to the socket:bang head:. I finally pulled the fairing and removed the socket from the housing but still could not get the bulb base out. I tried to find a replacement part online but can't seem to locate one. Does anyone know of a source or have a damaged light bar laying around that has a good bulb socket they would like to get rid of? I picked up a generic socket at O'Rielly that I am sure I can rig to work. It is a 2 wire type but I soldered a ground wire to the side of the base. Before I install this I thought I would check here.

oconeedan Posted April 24, 2015 #3 Posted April 24, 2015 Maybe you can help us all? Can we use a 1157 type bulb and file a slot in the bayonette plug? What was Yamaha thinking?
