bwflorence Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hey all, I was following a mate of mine a while back and noticed that the bottom bulb of his tail lamp was flickering while riding. Ive been told mine does the same thing. Anyone know what causes bit is causing this and what I can do to stop it ?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Clean the contacts. Change the bulb. Its the same circuit. If the top bulb works, then the delivery system is intact, and the problem is at the circuit end (bulb and contacts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 While your changing the bulb check the wires on the back to where they join for the other bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My bulbs did this for quite some time, so I would slap the housing and they would quit. The last time I had the tail section off, I pulled the taillight housing to check the wires. On a hunch, I checked the bulbs first, and it was a break in the filament that was causing the issue. Usually bulb filaments break and fall off, but for some reason these break in one spot and then the ends touch and make it work intermittently. In case you're wondering, on my 99 the bulb part number is a 7443 and is available everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
