parker lights on a gsr?

[olly]

hey guys..
just a question.. might be a silly one, but do gsr's come with parker lights? ever since ive had mine i never had parkers on, maybe just the bulbs are gone? u change em the same way as headlight bulbs?

If they are anything like vr4's the bulb isn't the actual headlight bulb but a small bulb (like a brake light/indicator) that enters into the headlight assembly from the BOTTOM. Follow the wiring and you'll find it.

I don't know if this specifically applies to GSR's... but it does to a vr4.

yeop they do......


they are shit though because they are ancient style bayonet globes. They sit right undeneath the main H4's in the headlight housing.

any idea how to remove them? they dont just seem to be pulled out like the headlights?

 

[Liberoz]

remove the head light and its a piece of Pi$$

 

[gsr07]

from memory its accesable next to or below your main beam bulb.
not too hard to get too.

yup found it.. but it seems to be a b!tch to get out..

 

[olly]

hmm anyone have any ideas to get it out? it seems to be plugged into the actual headlight?

 

[GSRSOL]

its just a spring loaded brass clamp..... push in both sides with your fingers to release it 8)

i removed it.. they aren't the wedge shaped bulbs? i just put some hid bulbs in my headlights and wanted to change my parks but i bought the wedge shaped parkers?.. any way to change them or i need to get the twist style globes?

 

[GSRSOL]

they are ancient style bayonet globes

if you figure out a way of upgrading them to the wedge shaped ones then klet me know!

 

[olly]

Hey don't know if anyone's still interested but I've just been having a major pis fart around with parkers and have ended up finding a possible upgrade to the bayonet style parkers on the GSRs...They're T10 sockets you can wire up...

On the note of the bayonets the globe is a BA9S...I find these are very bright
