Tiny lightbulbs that light up the dials of clocks...

[WATCHOUT!]

That's about the shortest name I can find for them. As you can imagine, I'm not having a lot of luck with my web searches.

Basically, one or more of the leds or bulbs that backlight the clock dials on my hornet has died, and I need to get replacements, particularly since the speedo side is completely dark and I just know I'm going to get done for speeding without even realising it. Does anyone know what these are usually called, and what type and how many I need for a CB600F-2 Hornet 600 ('02)?

N.B. Fiche from US site so maybe worth checking UK specs.

You would be better off geting LED's as you can choose the colour you want and they will not blow again.

That's handy, thanks guys, now I quite fancy getting orange or red LEDs... what am I getting myself into! Is this the first step into the world of modding?

Well first things first. Got to remove the clock coverings to get at the innards. Now where's me hammer?!!

Hi

They are normally capless bulbs, and quite easy to get. If you have one floating around to match up with that is.

All the best
