Tail light bulb

[Alan Schlosser]

1982 GS11GL. Just checking on the correct bulb. I put an 1157 in there beginning of the year and I think the running light is out again. All the manual says is 8/23W (3/32 cp)
Maybe I need a different bulb. All the other marker lights are fine.

Thanks!

1157 is fine.

or a 2057.

or a 2357, which is my personal choice.

or an LED equal to the 1157, but make sure you get it in the red light led's, not white....

If it was the stock/inteneded bulb or not, that would not effect the fact that it is out again.

I know you are asking which is tghe correct/stock/intneded bulb. but the way you said "is out again" made it sound like maybe you thought it was the wrong bulb and that is why it didnt last as long as you thought it should. What would make its life shorter than expected would be excessive vibration or too high a voltage. IF concerend about it not lasting, chack you charging voltage, if too high like over 15 then bulbs will burn out quicker.
