Wanted ST1100 Clock Light Bulb (Honda P/N: 34908-MT3-003 Bulb; T-5, 1.4W)

Forum Members:

Hello. Multiple attempts to purchase an ST1100 clock bulb via Honda have failed. The bulb is no longer available from Honda.
Comparable T-5 bulbs are available via Amazon, but they are not 1.4W bulbs. NAPA did not list the bulb.

If you are aware of a vendor with a comparable bulb or have a spare T-5, 1.4W bulb you may sell, please contact me or reply to this post.

Thank you!

David, I think I simply used a generic wedge #74 bulb. Don't remember where it came from. I may have gotten a few. It's been a while. I'll have a look around.

Regarding your pannier rail request, do mean just that plastic flip up flap thing, or the 'rail' that the bags hang on ?

^^This- the 74 bulb is sold at any Advance Auto or the like.

Well, generic T5 bulbs mostly come in 1.2W, the 1.4W is specific...

located a Philips with 1.4W type if that helps, but don't know if those match the required vibration resistance...

1.2,1.4...we're talking 0.01-0.02 Amp difference. A smidge dimmer, but it's a clock. I'd be throwing in whatevers cheap and handy.

Yeah... so you'll replace them often and frequent...
You all can again roll out the inquisition, with torches and pitchforks against me, for stating that the OEM bulbs are of superior quality and vibration resistance, thus will last many, many years/miles...
The generic ones OTOH no so much...

yeah, you say that now, but what happens one day when you're riding all night long, bank it into a curve, and suddenly you can't tell what time it is. I can't think of a more terrifying experience.

Did not see that coming.

Dwalby, good one!

I replaced mine with an LED 74 from Superbrightleds

Easy peasy
