turn signal bulb replacement
My right front turn signal burned out on the way home. Since the dealer is 120 miles away, is there a bulb that I can buy at AutoZone or Checkers, etc.that will definitely fit a newer Sporty with the bullet style turn signals?
Thanks!

Yep, it's a common bulb you can pick up in any auto parts store.

Next question...why is there bluish-purple slime on the end of the light bulb?

I think it's just an 1157. Nothing special. Good luck.

Front bulb 1157, rear bulb 1156
The bluish-purple slime is dielectric grease, it is used to prevent corrosion.

I can confirm 1157 for front, bought one yesterday... I can't believe the bulb I replaced was broken/cracked??
