redxxrdr Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 How hard is it to replace bulb for the reserve in the gas gauge ? I remember a post from WILLSXX, showing a source for LED replacements for the early lamps in the panel. My 01 has LEDs so I haven't had to change any cluster lights yet. But you should be able to pull the windscreen and get to the rear of the cluster. Or continue on and remove the three nuts holding the cluster in place and move it reward. The lights are in sockets. Rotate the sockets to a certain position, and two tabs on the sockets line up with holes in the cluster. The socket comes out, and you can then replace the light. I would look into replacing all lights with LEDs if your bike is old enough to have lights. Will was able to source different color LEDs and the pictures of the cluster looked real nice.

This^^^ I replaced mine a year or so back, just removed the screen, twisted the sockets undone and replaced the globes (T10 from memory), I went with a blue colour for something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willxx23 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I think xxman is trying to replace the actual low fuel light in the gas gauge itself and not just the dash lights, I haven't messed with my light itself and I do hope it stays functional for the duration but the thought of it failing has crossed my mind, I guess you could look at the schematic for starters, I'd bet it's soldered in, but not impossible to replace, maybe even swap in a different colored led for a nice on the eyes effect (green or blue) the red light on mine is very hard to ignore it's that bright when I'm low on fuel.

Yes just the low fuel light guess i'll have to tear into it and look hope it isn't soldered. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
