Part is currently on back order but they're pretty quick to deliver in my experience.

98% sure I have one, I'll double check tomorrow as in storage. But make me an offer

Thanks but back order could be a long wait.
Cheers bondy, let me know if you find one ? I'm just not willing to use evilbay cos they want new price + p&p for used gear !!

Unbelievable, Fowlers want almost £25 for a bulb holder. I'd nip down to the scrappy first and find something similar off a car or make something fit.
I'm not tight by any means but that's just daylight robbery. How can anyone justify that?

Do what I've done, problem solved, better light
Re: Wanted - boxeye side light bulb holder. - Sandscorcher - 31-07-15
Cheers Sinto,
I had wired up a couple of led's under the fairing, wired them using the side light wires but when the low or high beam is on the led's dim down to a light glow !
I managed to loose the side light fitting and I just wanted a replacement to wire back to standard encase the Mot testers in a bad mood.
How have you got that light wired in ?

Shouldn't be a problem with MOT in my opinion, although I've not taken it for one with this on it.
Side lights only have to be white and pointing forward for MOT purposes as far as I know, (this is my own wordings, so not official)
Fitting wise....
Cut off old bulb holder....
Strip back wires on new light and existing wires....
Crimp connectors on both sets of wires...
(done it this way so I can revert to original if needed) if soldered it's far more difficult to revert back :eek
Secure new light by couple of self tappers or nuts and bolts...
Plug in and switch on light... Simples
PS
(if new light doesn't come on, swap the wires around as LED's only work one way)

No worries fella.
Your health is more important & that's something I've had to deal with myself
, don't stress yourself over a bulb holder.Kind regards,
