2015 r3t here. Recently, my right running light bulb failed so I bought a two pack and replaced the bad bulb. Now, my left one just failed to light, and I need to replace this one.
Seems a bit odd, or is this a routine failure? Maybe the stock bulbs are cheapo quality, or is something else going on?
Thanks for any advice, Eric
 
Both are the same age and died at the same time.

The real question is, how many bikers does it take to change a light bulb?
 
Well, I thought it was a legit question. I was concerned that maybe their was a wiring issue.
Ill keep an eye on it, just not while I’m actually riding, of course
 
Make sure you stay with the 35W bulbs. 55W which are much more common will almost certainly fry your wires. Kuryakyn sell some 35W LEDS that make a good replacement.
 
I bought cheap knock-offs from flea bay for under $50.00 two years ago very happy with them.
 
From an engineering standpoint, if you have two bulbs that have the same duty cycle, they should fail at close to the same time. There'd be more cause for concern if you were replacing one of the bulbs twice as often - that would be more indicative of a fault.
