Replacing Brake Light bulb on 2008 Spyder

[hjazzyherm]

Please don't shoot me when I ask this question. I've had my Spyder for almost three years and just now had a bulb go out. Left my manual at home and wondered if I could use an 1157 bulb and pop all the inside cover screws on top of the back whell, will that get me to the bulb? or is there a simpler way of doing this?

If you could give me some quick tips, I'd be in your debt!!!opcorn:

When we had the SE5, GS I replaced both bulbs at the same time. The 1157 works just fine and is a LOT less expensive than the OEM. Got 2 of them for les than $3.00. My suggestion, if one burned out, the 2nd one is not too far behind...change them both.
