Guderian Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I need some new light bulbs for the brake and indicator lights on my sidecar. This is pretty old, over 12 years, and the motorbike shops here in Pattaya don't seem to stock this type any more. I was thinking of having a look on Lazada or eBay, but I'm honestly at a loss as to how to describe it. Does anybody know what the 'technical' name for this type of light bulb would be, something that I can use for searching for it? Thanks for any help. P.S. apologies for the photo quality but the macro in my phone's camera isn't wonderful.
Crossy Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Assuming the fitting is the same size as a car turn signal it's a BA15S 6V 5W for tail (assuming M/C is 6V of course) 1 "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

Guderian Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 Nothing on Lazada, but eBay has this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BA15S-5W-10W-Minitaure-Light-Bulb-6V-to-36V-15mm-Signal-Indicator-warning-Lamp/122922106522?hash=item1c9eba7e9a:m:m8h6q_W_zXQDqPh-K2QEjkw:rk:2:pf:1&frcectupt=true Would that be the same do you think, it certainly looks the part?
Guderian Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 This makes it look like the old 110cc Honda Clicks are using 12V batteries: https://www.tayna.co.uk/motorcycle-batteries/f/honda/click-08/ Anybody?

Crossy Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 If it's 12V try your local car bulb place ???? 2 "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

I use the Ford main dealer to service my car so I'm not exactly familiar with places that sell car bulbs, but I think I know of two, one not far from home, so I'll have a look, thanks.
Crossy Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 This is our local bits shop. 1 "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

There's a similar place just down the road from me, but he's mostly got car panels and alloys outside so I've never thought of him selling light bulbs that would fit the sidecar. I'll ask later as I have to pass by the shop.

CGW Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 If you cant find a bulb just buy a complete unit https://www.lazada.co.th/products/universal-motorcycle-bikes-atv-28-led-tail-brake-stop-license-plate-light-red-shell-i263627616-s407663709.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.77.574d77f8Dx1Zyt&search=1
Guderian Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 OK, I've got them thanks, from the car place that now seems to have turned into a motorbike place. He only had two though, so I'll check back there in a week or two and see if he's got any more. 1
