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.

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)

Thanks. I've no idea about the voltage but it's a 2006 Honda Click so whatever that uses.

Nothing on Lazada, but eBay has this:

Would that be the same do you think, it certainly looks the part?

This makes it look like the old 110cc Honda Clicks are using 12V batteries:

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.

This is our local bits shop.

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.

If he does not have, he will know where to go ????

 

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

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.

It's probably a fairly unusual size, most vehicles that still use bulbs have combined stop-tail lamps and the turn signals (21W) would be way too bright for a tail.
