Interesting Scaly, I thought they might have changed to the T10 when the moved to the UCE but obviously not, they have just decided to slip it in while nobody was watching

Scaly - I've ordered a set from eBay which look very like those you've shown. I'll report back when they arrive.

The lamps may be polarity sensitive, forgot to check. If they are then will only light when one side or other of the indicators are on.



For other telltales and illumination, if they don't seem to work, just turn them round and push back in.

(Nasty little 'Christmas light' bulbs!)



Have they changed the speedo itself with these new bulbs, or just the holders on the wiring harness?



here is 2010 speedo on Thunderbolt

Thanks for the link I have just reread my post I seem to have spelt speedo wrong twice I will need to be a bit more careful in future as there does not seem to be an edit facility on this forum

Scaly it is the bulb holders that have changed

[Les]

Thanks for the link I will look into it, just noticed I spelt speedo wrong twice

I have the latest speedometer with the push in bulbs which are 1.7 watt and virtually impossible to see in normal daylight I have replaced them with 3 watt bulbs and they are now visible in daylight, I have been for a run to the Hollyville Café for breakfast with Scalyback and nothing has melted or caught fire so far

Go on ebay and search for enfield flasher unit and you'll see the Indian Enfield specialists all selling flasher units with a buzzer all in one. I presume you just replace the old with the new unit for around a £7 including post.

Scaly, you were asking about changes to the speedo. On my UK B5 (2014) the speedo looks like this:





New speedo



I've pulled out one of the bulb holders, which is for the "push in" bulbs. The central panel is now in white, to match the new gauge with the MIL in it.



These are the new LED bulbs I fitted, which I bought from eBay:





LED replacement



As previously mentioned, these are polarity sensitive so you may have to fit them the other way round - test before assembling. They won't work in the indicator warning light, as the current is bi-directional, so I made my own bi-directional LED replacement:
