 your both right if it was wired in with a different socket, then perhaps an 1157 will not work. I have the same socket as stock and my LED is plug and play and has the offset knobs like an 1157 bulb......

The 1157 bulb is the stock bulb, but if the system has been changed over to LED's, complete with a load balancer, then the 1157 won't work.

Thanks...

In the meantime, I just printed up an image of a 5 watt brake  light bulb with two tabs (off set) and two filaments and went to local auto parts store. They cost about $2.00. I put it in and it works.... meanwhile I wasted an hour on the phone with Motorcycle shops in the area who could NOT find the bulb for my Kawasaki Drifter..... and those who thought they finally found it would have to order it.... and I might have it in a week..... or so.

This is just plain stupid.

I used this company and bought a plug and play LED tail light that is now 2 years old and working great.

Okay, so I bought my bike second hand. And the rear taillight bulb that is in it some weird LED pancake thingy with NO markings on it whatsoever. The stem of it broke completely in half. Crap design. Too heavy is the pancake bulb part and yes it will crack in half.

I went online to look at the replacement bulb 92069A that is recommended.

I call several motorcycle shops including Kawasaki dealers.

No one can find this bulb!

Have I entered a morbid Rod Serling The Twilight Zone or what??

(I will put ANY bulb in the rear taillight that will work. Some guidance would be very appreciated!)
