screw. After removal of the lamp rim the parking
lamp lens can be pulled out of the rubber body,
after which the bulb will be accessible.
5. Tail Light
The Lucas lamp, Type 564 (Fig. 3) is a
combined stop and tail light and also incorporates
a reflector.
Access to the bulb is obtained by removing the
two screws which secure the plastic cover.
The correct bulb is Lucas No. 352, 6 volt, 3/18
watt for machines up to 250 c.c., or Lucas No.
384, 6 volt, 6/18 watt for larger capacity machines.
The 3 or 6 watt filament provides the normal tail
light, while the 18 watt filament is illuminated on
movement of the brake pedal.
Care must be taken that the leads to the stop
tail lamp are correctly connected, as the use of the
18 watt filament on the normal tail light will not
only discharge the battery but could cause trouble
from excessive heat affecting the plastic cover. At
the same time, the 6 watt filament, if used as a
stop-tail light, will be ineffective in bright sunlight
or at night when the tail light filament is
illuminated.
