Mastiff sidelight/parking bulb

Postby breakwellmz » Thu Jun 06, 2013 9:04 am

Hi

I have to replace the above bulbs for the upcoming Mot.

The bulb is clearly marked "12V 14W 37R E1"but i can only find these in 4W.

Any idea why?

Cheers

i think the watts are messed up on the label on the bulb
if it a side or park 4 watts is about right


"go to any motorbike shop and they will have them"
where i live
in the early 1970's above applies
now they order everything

local suzuki shop did not get any tu250x bikes till this year
other parts of usa were selling them over 2 years ago
the 4 wheelers have about ran the motor cycles out of the show rooms

i like the old bmw bikes because if i need a part
its on my spares shelf no trips to dealers except for tires

i use one like that as the daytime running lamp
in the parking lamp in the headlamp on on my road bikes
so i get more life out of the main bulb
its on any time the motor is running
