XJ650 Turn Signal Bulb Size and Question

I'm trying to learn if it's the relay or a bulb that's out. I want to know if it's simply a bulb that needs to be replaced first and there's my problem. I'm looking thru my manual but perhaps I'm missing the section that specifies the bulb itself. From reading other posts, I'm assuming I'm looking for a non-LED bulb for my setup that runs at 27watts, but I don't know if there's a specific size or type that is required. Is simply finding the correct bulb a matter of a trip to the auto store, or will that have to be ordered online? Will I just need to replace that turn signal fixture as I'm making an assumption that the bulb is all that I currently require as my right blinker is fine and the front left blinker lights up, but the flashing and the rear left are currently on hiatus. Thanks everyone.

 

Maxim or Seca? 1156 or 1157 27watts. Remove the existing bulbs. Swap the good bulbs with the bad ones. A number should be on the side of them. Auto parts should have them on the shelf. Make sure the orientation of the installation studs on either side is correct.

Thanks Gary! It's the Maxim. Cool, I'll head over after working hours and see if I can get this figured out tonight. Yesterday I opened up the signal case and undid the studs to see if I could remove the bulb itself. I guess I wasn't pulling/tugging hard enough. I had both the screws out and detached the wire but I guess I was just a bit to ginger with the removal phase. I'll post later tonight any updates I get to.

 

Bulbs come out by pushing in and turning about a quarter turn to release the lugs from the slot. Then they pull right out of socket.

 

unless bulb grease was put in there 30 years ago and dried out. electrical cleaner will disolve it
