Pathfinder red led 2012 gl1800
No doubt the Pathfinder RED LED bulbs are super bright, you will need to pay attention and plug these in and turn them on as a test before putting the bike back together again, reason, the tiny thin wire terminals are touchy, I will forever add dielectric grease when ever I take apart any connection or bulb, after I got my tail lamp back in I noticed that one of the bulbs was loose and it was not lighting up, back apart and I see the issue is the pathfinders don't really lock into position and easily pop out, the OEM glass bulbs are a tight fit, pathfinders are not, I simply used a small dab of hot melt glue to hold the bulb into the socket, I'm sure a dab of silicone will work too but you will need to let that cure, hot melt glue gets firm pretty fast and I don't think these will get hot enough to melt the glue out,sort of a design issue they might figure out soon, still worth 5 stars to make me visible !
