Anyone can tell me where I could buy one of those lights with a manual switch? I suppose it would be easier to remove the lightbulb and forget about the light. I do just that when the battery is being charged.

Hi,
Here is a thread to the light switch assembly. I was thinking of getting one for my swing. You have Dan Spevack to thank for this find on this and the fine picture.

Hi from "Old Dave" in Western Nebraska
You need a Honda Trunk Light #34260-SH3-004 1994-2001 Acura Integra 3 Door Hatch Back. It comes with the switch and you can go to your local Honda Car dealer and order this for around $28.00 u.s.

It took me much longer than a minute. The Honda light casing appears to be the same size as the original - but it just didn't want to go in. I finally got it, though, and I'm really happy with it.

This is a good topic to BUMP.

Do a little shopping with this Honda part number and find the best deal on the part and shipping.

Dang, you mean I have a light under the seat? Previous owner must have removed the bulb if I do. I'd go out to shed to look but its just too cold this morning.

Ooh! I want to do this to mine!

Waspie: Just figured the SW was so retro it never had a light put under there. Besides, that little hole ain't big enuf to need a light.

Mark; you need a light to put your helmet on?

Just yanking your chain a bit, same as I was above in reply to Waspie. I know they can be useful.

Aw come on now Doug! You mean these things have headlights too???
Guess I'll have to stay up one evening after dark so I can see how they work.

Ted, I opted for the braille version of the 'Wing' Stealthy, no need for lights!!! Comes with free retractible white stick!!!!!

Might aught to patent that!!!

I had a job as a skywriter once, but they fired me for writing in the wrong language......






























I was writing in braille.

Very good Dan!

Hi All,

Bob just popped in the manual interior trunk light. Very simple.

Thank's to this forum and post it went very smoothly.

I will rest easy knowing I should not have a dead battery by forgetting to close the trunk all the way. I was lucky enough to spare myself that headache. There were times I thought I closed it all the way and I didn't.
Pure luck that I caught it in time.

Hi Cathy,

I sure agree with you. This light is easy to install and it's sure nice to be able to turn the light off with the flick of a switch. I just wish Honda would have thought about installing these when they designed this scooter.

Hi Dennis,

That would make a lot more sense to have a manual switch. To bad they don't seem to read these forums. They could make some simple positive changes.

How's your bike coming along?

Cathy

Hi Cathy,

Got Blue Jay taken apart right now. Doing a mod to it that alot of folks might want to do once they see it. Yes, pictures will follow in a few days.

Can't wait to see the pictures.

Got the light and did this to mine finally.
After a week's wait for the part, installation was about 45 seconds.
I had been running with the lamp pulled but its nice to have the option of light at the flick of a switch.

I also jumped in and completed the interior light modification - part cost around $30 with tax and also waited about a week to get it.

It took a little longer than "Fiddler's" installation but part of that was finding the correct size screwdriver to pop it out - unplug/replug the connector and pop the new one in place - perfect fit and now let there be light!

I also realize by posting this that will be opening myself to good natured comments from the group but what the heck I have big shoulders.

Just realized that I have now brought the Silverwing up to the level of my wife's former Yamaha Morphous which came with a light and switch - kind of funny.

Now you need to put an LED bulb in the light. An incandescent bulb just does not cut it anymore.

Bigbird,

I guess putting in an LED makes some sense but my SW is a 2002 and being old it doesn't know the difference - I'm just happy to have it there and thereby don't half to search for that cheep flashlight that never wants to be found.

Maybe I will change it some day but for now on to other more important things like my horn - that is another subject.
