    Can somebody tell me (I saw it in a thread once but cannot find it for anything!) the size/type of bulb that goes in that little slot between the headlights? I just upgraded my headlight bulbs after running the dual light mod (awesome). Just thought I might throw a neat colored bulb it he center while I am at it.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, it's that little parking bulb. If someone knows the bulb type? I think it is like a little 5w but not sure of the type.

    Thanks!

    It should be a 194 bulb. Replacing it with a 194 LED looks great!

    its a 5w wedge parker bulb, a white LED looks heaps better

    If ya get a LED just make sure ya put in the right way as they run on negative polarity, if doesnt work when ya put it in take it out and turn it around and should work.

    Is there a purpose to this light other than looks?

    And does it come in the bike or is the socket just there and sitting empty. My GF's is empty just wondered.

    ^^^ It's pretty much just for looks. It was empty on all of the US models until recently

    In my opinion the light really does nothing. I think in Europe buells come with the light in but not in the US. I currently have a light in and it doesn't do anything really because its such a small light and my HID overpowers it. It's just a parking light so I wouldn't worry about it. Only reason I have mine in is because my HID kit came with the parking light so I threw it on!!
