Does anyone know what bulb replaces the taillight? Mine burned out this morning on the way to work. Also, how do you replace it? I don't see any screws. Of course it is still dark so I don't have a good vantage point yet.
thanks

I think they are all the same but just to be sure, R3, R3C or R3T?
 
It's just a standard 1157 auto bulb. They make some that are designed for motorcycle applications, claiming to be anti-vibration, but save your money and pop in the one made for cars. Most of the time they come in pairs in a blister pack. I take the extra one wrap it in toilet paper and stuff it in the cardboard tube of the roll, fold the ends over and carry it under the seat. I had mine go out a few days ago, and having never changed the bulb, I figured it out in the dark and was done in less than a minute. It really is simple.
