Re: Dash Bulbs???
I think you may need to take the R/H fairing off to access the bulbs from behind

Re: Dash Bulbs???
Pain in the A$$!!!!!! when i got my 2000 curvy it had no working bulbs in, i bought LED replacements (theyre AWESOME!) to change mine i had to literally take the whole front apart (both side fairings and nose cone, headlights, and then clocks)
This is the place i got my bulbs, Cheaper than my local dealers per bulb - https://www.crazyleds.co.uk/ REALLY quick postage and well packed too! Last edited by Speaky69; 07-10-10 at 09:07 PM. |

i managed to get the clock housing off with out removing the lights, then i found that there are 3 bulbs that needed replacing and i only bought 2  Takes about 20 mins to get everything off (once you know what your doing) to then fit the bulbs that take 2 minutes, then as Mr haynes states, replacement is a reversal of removal. |

Here we go http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.p...ight=dash+bulb I tired LEDs but found tem a bit narrow on light output therefore creating 'hot spots' of light. Last edited by Viney; 08-10-10 at 07:33 AM. |

Re: Changing dash bulbs?
mine looks ok with LEDs in
 does look like it has some hot spots but the picture makes it look much worse than it actually is

I went for green to match the bike. I used cheap green LEDs off eBay in the clocks also changed the neutral light fullbeam light etc with the relevant coloured LEDs as well
