First off, ONLY the fronts stay on. The "lamp out" deal goes on from an open circuit and will do that if some connection is marginal. These bikes are getting old and it does one good to pull apart and reinsert the connectors to refresh the mechanical bond. Same for ground connections. Sorry about your efforts to get the rear lights to work, they never did. The law says that any lights lit (continuously) facing the rear must be red. Fronts can be amber. If you could find red lenses for the rears, you'd need to replace the bulb sockets with front ones to get a double filament bulb there. Be kinda neat but then the turn signals wouldn't stand out.

The red brake and taillights work, the amber turn signal lights blink, but they don't stay on like the front amber lights do. I've changed bulbs and fuses but the rear ambers only blink when I turn the turn signals on. - If the indicator light is burned out is the circuit broken? - Other than a short somewhere, is there something else I haven't checked? -Jeff --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
