Idiot Bulbs and Holders
Mike_Berkshire:
Hi all, I have traced a fault to a short in the idiot light console on my '76 K2 and discovered a lot of corrosion and some general bodgery lurking in the panel (photo below). The upshot is I need a couple of new bulbs and bulb holders; if I can get them I will probably replace everything with new. I am not fussed if the parts are not genuine; I just want the lights to work. From what I have measured the bulbs are 9mm dia bayonet. I have found a source of 9mm bulbs and holders as per these links:
Holder: https://www.carbuilder.com/products/side-light-bulb-holder
Bulb: https://www.carbuilder.com/products/clear-4w-bulb-9mm-cap
Do these look suitable and/or has anyone got a tried and trusted source?
Many thanks, Mike

Better to use genuine Honda 3.4w bulb as more powerful bulbs risk melting the plastic console.
Honda part number 34902 259 003
Silvers does them here:-

Or order and collect from your local Honda dealer postage free.

Lanp-holder with fibre washer insulator, the crimped terminal is exposed to the metal spring at the rear, try and source a lamp-holder with a fuller insulator.
See attached picture.

Thanks guys! Mike

Any of this any good to you Mike ?
The three rubber type covers on the left I think are NOS given to me.
Bulb holders are used but not rusty inside.
Just the cost of a Jiffi bag & postage if you want them.
