Reply #5 - 10/26/08 at 19:32:11 i'm sure with the right mod, and double element light bulbs, you could convert the rear into running lights as well. I was wondering the same think on friday, so i removed the bulb covers and realized the rear lights are single element. i.e either on or off. Pip jones

Reply #7 - 10/27/08 at 05:11:00 Well, it isn't all that difficult, just replace the rear t/s bulb holder with a double filament kind, and voila`! You're done! Now, for the really nice bit... Double wire it so that the dim filaments actually pulse when the t/s isn't on...

...get neutral light working again....

Why?

You clutch it when starting, so no need to be in neutral. If you want to be in neutral a little rocking back/forth will let you know you are in gear. Once running a little slip of the clutch will tell you what gear, if any, you are in. The neutral light is redundant. Not to mention that it can be lit when you are in gear and is thus also not reliable. I have no use for the neutral light.
