Title: two bulbs rerar light Led
Post by: Barbastro K6 on Sunday, 18 January 2026, 09:33 PM
In K6 I have tried with an LED bulb placing only one and the brake light comes on but not the lighting light.

I"ve tried several LED bulbs and it never goes.


Thank you

Solved. Changing both for LEDs if they work.

Here is a tool to make the bulb turn and not punish the hand to get them out of the tail.

I bought it to disconnect the petrol pipe at the outlet of the tank. AliExpress

This week I took the lights out but had to unscrew the metal holder with the 2 screws and a magnetic bit; worked great. For some reason one of the lamps worked its way out and was working but melting the plastic where it was touching. My fault the last time I changed it ? Maybe. As you mention, not easy to turn.Maybe I didn“t do the click until the end.

Agree Barbastro, much brighter also. Use Warm White globe, cool white appears pink through red lens.

yeah, not sure why that's from the US, pretty sure mine came from the UK or China.  has worked well so far and I like the clear lens look as well.

I'm finding a lot of Chinese stuff being sold via US located websites these days, but when you buy it the tracking gives away the truth. I guess down to lots of us trying not to buy Chinese rubbish all the time.

I bought one of those led tail lights for my ZX14. It also does indicators, half a side flashes yellow/orange along with the original indicator. It's not super bright is the only caveat. Got it in Aust though. Looks great.

Some stuff them China Man sell are great (and cheap). Would have ordered from their German ebay store, but they didn't have it in available here (would have if I'd ask). Ordered from their US store. Very happy with all the items I have bought from Chinese. I won't touch Ali and (in my eyes) similar bad chinese online shopping portals though.
