Hi y'all

Ive got twin rear lights on my '99 R6. Coming back from a ride Im informed my left light is out. My b/f takes off the lense cover (which is bubbled from the heat), we find that the bulb has melted into the plastic at the back and we cant get it out....same on the other one although not quite as bad.

They are only little 8w bulbs?? can anyone offer a theory as to why they are running that hot? Dont wanna fork out on new stuff if they are just gonna be frazzled too...

is it just shit selection of bulbs / lights on an 'aftermarket' undertray or could there be another issue?

Any help appreciated guys

hmm maybe missing some spacers so the plastic is to close to the bulb :/

Also it might be worth measuring the voltage to the lights when the engine is revved, just to test the voltage regulater out, if thats gone you should stop using the bike before battery and other stuff gets fried

On revving, the lights do go brighter yep...

They will do but should stop around 2500 - 3000 rpm, after that they should remain a constant brightness. If they continue to glow brighter its time to measure the voltage...
