CB550 turn signal socket spring?
« on: July 29, 2017, 07:01:30 PM »
Noticed today that my front turn signal bulb flickers on and off while driving, checked it out and noticed the bulb is just kind of rattling around in the socket. The spring or whatever it is in the socket that normally pushes against the bulb to hold it in tight must be worn.

I'm just wondering what to look for as far as a replacement part? I don't even know what the part is called!

Thanks!

First check it is the right bulb with the two little pins on the side in 180o position to eachother..
