Rancho Cucamonga, CA | If your dealer says it's not covered under warranty because bulbs burn out, tell him he's wrong. It is covered, I've had mine replaced. There is no bulb, it is a glow panel kinda like the night lights you plug into the wall at home. They should last 100,000 hours (roughly 5 million miles). |

| on the bottom of the badge housing is a slot where you can get a flat screw driver in it and pop the lighted part off. Now with a metter you can some how teast to see if you have power |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | If it's not a loose connection, the only option is replacing the whole thing. There is no bulb or LED, just a glow panel. |

Taylorsville, KY | So the badges are lit by electroluminescent lights? Does each light have it's own inverter or is there a common inverter for both? If there's a common inverter i may have to look into adding more EL lighting!! |

| There are 4 bulbs on the one end I think there LED's I have never found any thing to tell me diffrent. If you pull the dash and either the glove box panel or fuel door panel you'll find the the wire hooked to the bar where the plug in is. |

Taylorsville, KY | Hadn't seen the lighted badges with the new logo....i would have guessed the 5 spots on the right side were just reflections. Anyone have a bad one they could take apart and post a pic of the guts of one? |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I did have a bad one, and the dealer let me keep it. Took it apart to see what made it tick. Did not save the parts though. The inside was just a flat glow panel similar to what is used in laptop screens behind the LCDs. |

Pittsburgh, PA | Johnny, i tried to get to a point where i can order it.. but i just cant locate any place to order it.. btw.. yesterday when i found this.. i opened my burned out left light and it was the SAME EXACT part numbers.. SSB-CER7247UWW-OVL !! so more than likely these guys were the supplier... i noticed the dates on those schematics are old.. so i was wondering something else.. .and this is just my thoughts im not saying there is any truth to it... but i wonder if when victory stopped including the lighted badge on vision , if it really wasnt their choice... it could have been the supplier ( and what ever reason) its also appears there has been a few revisions to this as well.. i now also wonder if the failure rates (left one going out) had anything at all to do with why victory doesnt use them anymore.. last night i did find a page where it mentioned a failure rate or what not.. |
