I want to install the turn signals next to the brake lights. On the super 8 there is a spot where it looks like turn signals but its fake. I was thinking of installing some orange turn signal bulbs in there in the rear and in the front. I have seen people that have done it online but I don't know where they got the light bulb sockets at. I tried a local motorcycle shop that sells scooter (there parts guys blew me off) I looked at advanced auto and found nothing, I tried a trailer lights shop and nothing. I looked online as well. If you have done this pleas tell me how and where you got the parts at please.

I took the sockets out of the stalks. Does yours have the square cross looking holes in the body for the sockets?
If so the side marker sockets from any early1990's Gm will fit. http://www.amazon.com/Marker-Lights-Socket-Assembly-12083460/dp/B0040D2TO8 (http://www.amazon.com/Marker-Lights-Socket-Assembly-12083460/dp/B0040D2TO8)

I want to do the samething eventually to mine. Would look so much better.
-
I'm considering LED's for those same locations. Less power required and likely less drilling/ cutting to make it work.
-
...it can be done, and Welcome to the forum geebubyoo!!
..reckon i spelled that right!!
;D

Thanks wordslinger. I've been reading and learning much on here since buying my Super 8 recently. While motorcycles aren't new to me, 2-strokes, variators and CVTs are. Those lights are just one thing on the to-do list after the de-restrict. If find anything I'll post it. This place has potential. There are some 12V mini indicator lights there that look good:

Yep, you spelled it right. Just a play on my initials GW.

I did move my turn signals into the fake spots just used the
ugly turn signals thay stuck out took the bulbs out and drilled holes
into the fake ones and stuck the original bulbs in there is a lil
more to it than that a lil dremmel work but it will work and it looks
so much better .

..Awesome..better lighting is always better!! 8)

And awesome lighting is always better than better lighting. That's really awesome (more than better.)
What dumb stuff were you talking about Slinger?

..lol..I forget... ???

Hey!!!!!!! Buy my ZX. I'll cut you the deal of a lifetime.
You can throw away the bike, and have a few G's worth of parts!
-
Dang, the way 5-0 already eyes me now...
-
I had the local LT. do my radar run. They all get a kick out of my bikes.
It's different down here.
Remember when I first started posting? I hated this place but now I will never leave. I actually haven't left town here in a few years except for one weekend about a month ago...
2,500 people, and I know damn near every one of them.
-
I'm sure..I hate I didn't get down there back when.. Damn sure wanted to...
-
Always here Bro!
Neither me nor Carribelle are going anywhere. Hope you like killer dogs!
-
Are you keeping the bulbs tightly in the dummy slots or is the socket hanging loose with the bulb holding it in?
-
Don't let the bulb hang there. Forget the Duct Tape too.
-
i got a 2014 super 8 and put the lights in the rear in the dummies and it freckin looks awesome
-
I'd love to see how the bulbs are held into the sockets etc. Want to do the same myself. No bending the signals when struggling to get the scooter up on 2 pegs on the plank I have in the yard.

It is a very clean Mod. One of the nicest free things you can do to a US bike.
The only potential problem is if the bike is ever involved in an accident. Insurance won't pay because the Mod is NOT DOT approved
-
..them damn dots... :-X
-
DOT's aint as bad as squiggle cops... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...lmao, I reckon not! ;D
