Hello all.
I need some help please.
I'm restoring a 1980 Suzuki FZ50 model X.
The rear tail/brake lamp has blown one element so I need to replace it.
It's a 6V 5/21W bay15d with offset bayonets.
Having bought one locally, I find it's different to my bulb.
The new one has two contacts whereas my 'original' has three!
I think this is because the tail light runs from the battery directly and the brake light only when the engine is running.
My question is can I still get a three-contact bulb? If so, please advise where.
If not, can I have suggestions to get round this with a two-contact lamp, please.
thanks and regards
jd
