#496906 signalzero (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 563 Need some help with the meter assembly please. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I am trying to replace the lights in the meter assembly, I have taken out every screw possible but I am still unable to remove the spedo dial to gain access to the bullbs. Is there a trick to this?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #496915 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2032 Re:Need some help with the meter assembly please. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   did you take off the needle? been awhile since i was in mine.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #496929 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5258 Re:Need some help with the meter assembly please. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   you access the lamps from the back, no need to remove needles. the lamps are in a "T" socket, 1/4 twist and out it pops there are 4, if using lamps from Radioshack, then I suggest you replace all since they are a 12v lamp, stock is a 14v lamp, the RS will be a hair brighter and it will be noticeable if you only replace the bad lamp   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496941 jeckes (User) Hardened Target Platinum Boarder Posts: 1868 Re:Need some help with the meter assembly please. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Erbman02 wrote: you access the lamps from the back, no need to remove needles. the lamps are in a "T" socket, 1/4 twist and out it pops there are 4, if using lamps from Radioshack, then I suggest you replace all since they are a 12v lamp, stock is a 14v lamp, the RS will be a hair brighter and it will be noticeable if you only replace the bad lamp 14v huh?

I haven't heard how long the Radio Shack 12v bulbs are lasting.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #496987 signalzero (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 563 Re:Need some help with the meter assembly please. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Ok, after you do the quarter turn how do you get them out?

You should be able to feel less resistance as it turns. if ya turn too much it lock back again   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496996 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

You will have to unwrap the wire to the bulbs to get them out pay attention to how they are wrapped. Put the new ones in the same way and clip the excess wire off with finger nail clippers. Put the socket back in with the new bulb and one to the next ones. I have had my bulbs in for two years I am sure Erbman has hd his in longer than me.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #496997 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5258 Re:Need some help with the meter assembly please. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   texasscott1 wrote: Running down the road your charging is putting out about 14 volts.

I got at least 2 or 3yrs before one blew out.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #497052 signalzero (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 563 Re:Need some help with the meter assembly please. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   ok, they would turn but wont come out.
