2008 Red/Black R3T
Guys, I'm ridiculously embarrassed to be posting this question.

I have an R3T with the Triumph light bar (part # 9938085). I've looked at the instructions that came with it and I'm ****ed if I can find the type of lamp I need to replace the one that has burned out. Nor are there any instructions as to how to change the darn thing - not even in the shop manual (which I've looked at).

Please give me some assistance!!

Thanks to all.
 
if u r referring to the fog lights they r h-3 bulbs
and to change them there is a screw under the lamp then the cover will come off then u have a clip that holds the bulb in just pop that off and unplug and plug back in i use the bulb grease when i replace mine
hope this helps u
 
You left out the need for a screw driver as well.

What else have we forgotten?

...the lamp and wiring are all one piece. Like a moron I was busy trying to figure out if the bulb came out an it's own.

Btw. Dealer didn't even know the right bulb until I yanked it out and brought it in since the service manual does't mention that little tidbit.
 
Ouch, you bought an H3 bulb from the dealer? What did they spank you for that one, was it a "Genuine Triumph Part"?

Was pretty cheap. Candidly don't remember the price but it was cheap enough I got 2 instead of just 1 so both sides got replaced at the same time.. Also didn't want the wrong one in there- replace with too high wattage and the **** things are a fire hazard.
 
I'll bet they do get hot ... the smaller ones (ugly lights) lol ... for the Standard and Classic get so hot that finger prints make smoke.

I've been running Nokya 55W yellow bulbs in mine for 2 years. No fire yet....
