Hi

My 1993 FJ1200 has single filament bulbs in the front indicators.
I would like to fit bulb holders with twin filament bulbs so the indicators double up as running lights.
The connector plugs to the bulb holders have three wire with one coming on with the lights so what I am looking for is either the part number for the double filament bulb holder or where I may be able to buy them and get shipped to NZ.

Cheers  Phil

 :hi: Try your local auto parts store(s) mate...explain to them that what you need is an 1157 (twin filiment) bulb holder.

Interesting... My 1990 came with running lights. I thought they all did. Is it a US/NZ difference?

My Kalifornia (USA) bike has the fronts as running lights...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I didn't realize my blinkers were also running lights until I replaced the bulbs. But they are.

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Are you looking for the entire bolt on signal light including stalk and lens or just to swap out the actual bulb socket?

rough example:


For an entire unit, I installed new signals using 1157 dual element bulbs for under Cdn $20 each. I can't pull up the EMGO catalog this minute but they have hundreds of match ups to OEM styles.



If someone wants to see any images I refer to in posts, first check my gallery here. If no bueno, send me a PM. More than glad to share.

Hmmm, mine are running lights, both are on at all times apart from when indicating, then one flashes and the other turns off.  I'll take a picture of my socket and bulb.  I only replaced the bulbs a few months ago - go them at Super Cheap.

Be right back....

Here they are.  The bulb is a single filament, it has "12v 21w J11" on it. 

Hope this helps....
