Stock Tail Lamps

I think the number is a 3157 but when I searched on ebay I got a bunch of LED bulbs instead. glighto11 Posted 2011-05-29 4:35 PM (#87419 - in reply to #87417) Subject: Re: Stock Tail Lamps Iron Butt Posts: 741 Central New York They are a standard 3157, made by most bulb companies. Last ones I got were Sylvania an they were hanging on the hook at WalMart.

Any autoparts store, almost any gas station, heck....can even get them at Walgreens and grocery stores.

I was hoping to know the exact brand and type before I tore into the tail light assembly. I have since looked in my Owners Manual and it calls for a 3157 27/7W (no brand listed) so that's what I'll look for. I'm not really hung up on a brand I just know that the ones in the bike have lasted for 4 years so why chance it with something different? I used to have to replace the tail light in my TC every year and it always seemed to go out while I was in the middle on nowhere on a Sunday. johnnyvision Posted 2011-05-30 2:57 PM (#87498 - in reply to #87417) Subject: Re: Stock Tail Lamps Visionary Posts: 4278 Easy go to auto stor and ask for the ones that last the longest.

They have been right on for me. rdbudd Posted 2011-05-30 3:41 PM (#87503 - in reply to #87498) Subject: Re: Stock Tail Lamps Visionary Posts: 1632 Jasper, MO john frey - 2011-05-30 2:57 PM Easy go to auto stor and ask for the ones that last the longest.

The stock bulbs secure on the ends verses the sides and have an additional support in the middle of the filament. They look MUCH Beefier than the ones I put in. If anyone wants to know the are aWAGNER 3157 P27/7W.
