Foxeye sidelight bulbs

[Jamieg285]

I've checked the Haynes manual, but it only talks about the boxeye sidelight 


1.  Do you have to remove the fairing infill panels to access these bulbs, or is there another way?

2. What bulbs are they?

TIA

I think they are 501 bulb 12v 5W T10.


I tried changing mine for white led's but they would not switch on.


I tried turning them around but still no light so put the bulbs back in.
Not sure if I needed led's with built in resistors.


But watched a program some years ago which pointed out that the led's generate a lot of heat from the led.
And I didn't want to melt the housing. To replace its very expensive....
