I needed a new bulb for my tail light on my 2002 KDX 220.
12 volt 10 watt bulb is reference in the manual. Having a hell of a time finding one. Anyone know if the auto stores carry a bulb that will work? If so, have a number for the bulb type?
Tail light bulb?

Re: Tail light bulb?
should be an 1156
I bought a led taillight so I could use a slightly brighter headlight here is the one I bought, it has been in the bike for a couple years now with no problems.

It is a 5008. Auto stores have them. 1156 is around 23 watts. a 5008 is 10 and a 5007 is 5 watts. LED is the way to go.

Re: Tail light bulb?
Wait.... I'm running the rear tailight AND an led so it lights up when I hit the brake. Is that okay? Should I take the constant bulb out and just run the LED?
Just a square trying to ram myself into that circular hole...

I would run a duel style led like one that replaces a 1157. You will need to change socket. The led saves power as the stator only has so many watts to go around.
