Rear running/turn signals 5 Months ago  
Hey all, kind of a dumb question on a 02 Midnight, but my rear turn signal/marker lights only work as turn signals, maybe ive never noticed but I could have sworn they were on as well as marker lights, id start with the obvious, bulbs, but what kind of screw is holding the lenscap on? Square or phillips? Looks like in going to have to WD or liquid wrench the screws before hand or ill strip the heck out of them.


Thanks all

In stock configuration, no they are not on unless turning. You can add the Kuryakan Triple Whammy to do that. $100
Use the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) driver that is in your took kit, not a philips. They are different.

Or you can wire in a couple of dual element bulb sockets for about $20 or less.

If anything, get a JIS driver set.

Every crosshead screw on your bike will thank you for it.
