anybody ever have their idiot lights go out? my high beam indicator light doesn't work anymore. is this difficult to fix?
:dunno:
If you look basically right behind where those lights are, you will see the bulb sockets (rubber) and wires leading in. Just pull the socket straight out (don't pull by the wire though). It is probably a 3w bulb, but it will be printed right on the bulb itself. Just take it in to any auto parts store or the dealer and they can match it up. Really easy.

Wal Mart stocks every bulb for the gs, so I think Fred Meyer would too, just in case you need them late at night.
My experience is that the bulb packaging does not show the wattage. So if you don't know the bulb # your SOL. Here is a list of bulbs that should fit along with their specs.
Suzuki specifies 1.7w for the high beam indicator and 3.4 for the others. Of the six listed only two are right on those values. The 758 is listed as a specialty bulb, therefor may be hard to find.
Get the closest to Suzuki specs. you can find. Higher watts means hotter.
high beam indicator 1.7w
Bulb #--volts--amps--watts
161 -----14-----0.19---2.66
658 -----14-----0.08---1.12
758 -----14.4---0.12---1.73
other indicators 3.4w
Bulb #--volts--amps--watts
158------14-----0.24---3.36
194------14-----0.27---3.78
124------14-----0.27---3.78
