LEFT FRONT PARKING LAMP / RUNNING LIGHT INTEGRATED WITH TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY FAILS REPEATEDLY. REPLACING WITH OEM OR AFTER-MARKET LONG-LIFE RATED BULBS, THE PARKING LAMP FILAMENT WILL STILL FAIL AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME (< 2 MONTHS). FAILURE OCCUR IN ANY SITUATION - WHETHER MOTORCYCLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. A SEARCH FOR "2013 CB500 LEFT RUNNING LIGHT SITE:WWW.CBR500RIDERS.COM" ON HTTP://GOOGLE.COM REVEALS MANY CASES WHERE OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE USER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ADDITIONAL FAILURES.
