Switchback sockets!

[GIXERHP]

Well since everyone was having a hard time finding sockets the fit correctly, i have come up with a solution.

They can be purchased along with your bulbs from Autolumination!
The part number is 62-30 and can be found at the bottom of this page,
Under this listing Bayonet Pigtail Pigtail Socket Receptacles,
Here is the link to the page,

Now the first thing is to remove the front turnsignal socket from the bike.

Next find a socket that the housing fits into, see pic,

Next you need to push out the original socket, see pic

Then remove the ground wire and turn signal plug from the housing,

Next you need to get a slightly larger piece of wire, due to that the replacement sockets are a little smaller!

18ga, will do, then strip the wire about 3/4 of an inch and tin with a soldering iron about 5/8 of an inch

 

[GIXERHP]

Next fold over the soldered end, and slide into the socket

 

[GIXERHP]

Next install the new socket

Then press into place!

The wiring, now is simple, the green wire is your turn signal, and the red will be your running light!

nice

 

[BigBallin]

if you buy these you dont need to use the tail light sockets correct?

hmm if it takes more than a chainsaw and a fireaxe... I will let you do them for me..

 

[CWCobra]

Or...just buy older model chevy sockets from local Autozone for $4.99 each. Work like a charm.

ya but you have to mod those to get them to work. so why now use these if they work perfect

Just a quick update, been searching all morning for 1157 sockets ( advance, auto zone, oriellys.. ) and finally found what I needed at napa. PN - LS6253. It only requires that one of the twist locks be cut off flush and one sliced in half. I should have took pics but I was so excited to get them in.. lol. Hope this can help you guys out!
