hello, can anyone direct me to the type of bulb to buy to replace the
rear license place light bulbs? the one i have has no markings on it
and local store doesn't carry anything like it.
and now the warning...
on a related note, the other night i decided to take the tiger to pick
up a take out order. i backed out the garage and flipped on the
headlights - nothing came on and the charge light and panel lights
went out. my first thought (silly me) was that the battery was low,
so i turned them off and cranked the engine. no problem - so i turned
them back on and still no lights. before i could flip them off (maybe
1 second) the dash started smoking. i turned them off, drove back in
and took another car. today i looked for the short and found the left
hand headlight bulb was the cause - its shorted the ground to the two
live terminals! i have replacement 7" xenon units with modern H4
bulbs (made by GERLUX) which are less than a year old. it was a close
call and could have been much worse (destroyed wiring or even a fire)
so i'll definitely be wiring in a fuse to the headlights and urge
anyone who hasn't already to do likewise.
