bknsaddle Posted May 28, 2015 #1 Posted May 28, 2015 2013 RSV turn signals Can someone confirm with certainty that the front have a BAZ15d-3 base and the rear a BAU15s / 7507. I'm trying to place order with Custom Dynamics and they say their chart stops at 2008 for the RSV.... Many thanks....Steve
slowrollwv Posted May 28, 2015 #2 Posted May 28, 2015 Can you pull one of them out and look at the base. They did change to a three prong bulb but I can't remember the year. If yours is two prong I have a few new bulbs here I will give you. I went to LED lights.
bknsaddle Posted May 28, 2015 Author #3 Posted May 28, 2015 Front are dual contact, three offset pins. Rear are single contact, two offset pins. Thanks for the offer. My intent is to buy Custom Dynamics LED turn signals and that's why I'm trying to confirm the Base.
slowrollwv Posted May 28, 2015 #4 Posted May 28, 2015 No problem. When you go to LED lights you will have to get the load equalizers or a different flasher as they will blink very fast without one or the other.
bknsaddle Posted May 28, 2015 Author #5 Posted May 28, 2015 Yes, I'm ready to do that. Just need to sort out this bulb base issue.....
yamagrl Posted May 29, 2015 #6 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I ran into this issue with my Vstar 1100 a few years back. The three prong bulb has 2 prongs at the lower part of the base and one that is offset closer to the glass. This is the common prong. On the 1157 you have one prong on the lower section and one prong on the upper. Remove the single lower prong with a file. That leaves a single (common) prong. The 1157 will then fit perfectly...albeit with only one prong. Ideally the 3 prong is best, but for a buck and if you are in a pinch, the 1157 will work fine. Edited May 29, 2015 by yamagrl

I'm trying to place order with Custom Dynamics and they say their chart stops at 2008 for the RSV.... Many thanks....Steve on my 2012 I run 2357A (yellow bulb) with one pin filed off to fit. The base is a three prong base. After I file the pin off, only one prong holds in the 2357A bulb
vzuden Posted May 29, 2015 #8 Posted May 29, 2015 I installed the same Custom Dynamics LED that was in my 2007 into my 2012. I wouldn't think your 2013 would be any different
eusa1 Posted May 29, 2015 #9 Posted May 29, 2015 the ANSWER YOU REQUEST IS THIS: TELL THEM YOU HAVE AN 08 AND THEY WILL WORK. The design and bulb change was done between the 2003 and 2004 models and everything from 2004 to 2013 are the same
bknsaddle Posted May 29, 2015 Author #10 Posted May 29, 2015 Thank you all for your input. 2008 it is.....that makes life simple! Steve
